GREETING 

This book is different from others. The indulgence of the Class 
is asked for the monotony that has been inevitable in the individual 
letters. Hovi^ever, this form of letter has had a large advantage. 
No one has written his own biography. Therefore, the editors have 
had the opportunity of telling much about a man which his modesty 
would not have permitted him to write. Such a plan may 
not be valuable continuously but possibly has served a purpose here. 

For the delay in publication, we would ask the charitable judg- 
ment of the Class for reasons that the scope of the book may make 
evident. We thank the Class for its response to an unusually 
lengthy circular. 

We hope this book will help to invigorate the union of devotion 
among us to Princeton which lives in us not simply in the memory 
of four years past but in a vital stirring brotherhood. 

The Committee.

WOODBURY ABBEY 

(a) Box 1244, Boise, Idaho 

(b) 1017 Fort Street, Boise, Idaho. 

(c) Care of United States Surveyor General, Boise, Idaho. 

Government Surveyor. With the United States General Land 
Office. Engaged in the subdivision of public lands. 

Born January 10, 1884. Son of Charles A. Abbey of Rondout, N. Y., and 
Pamela C. Abbey of Brooklyn, N. Y. Prepared at Pratt Institute, 
Brooklyn. C.E., Princeton 1907. Member of the Princeton Alumni 
Association of Idaho. Attended the first two reunions. 

Married Beatrice B. Monnier, December 2, 1908, in New York City. 
Denise Monnier Abbey, born March 12, 1910, in Portland, Ore. 

Once again, Wood, you have the honor of opening a Class book. Greet- 
ings to you ! And for yourself and for the rest of the class, we hereby re- 
turn your own greetings to every one who opens the book here and reads for 
the first. time! 

Wood has been prospering swimmingly. He was appointed United 
States Surveyor by the Surveyor General. He likes his chosen profession 
so well that he intends to stay in it so long as he is able. During the winter 
of 1909-10, he taught surveying and mathematics in the Y. M, C. A. at 
Portland, Ore. His special hobbies in his profession have been questions of 
irrigation and pumping stations. In his reading, fiction has filled in his 
spare moments, and he has done a moderate amount. 

Swimming is, as ever, his chief delight and exercise. Football has an 
important place in his athletic programme. The effects of his athletics in 
college have been good. "I am always in shape," he writes. Wood has 



evidently made a hit with the Boise Athletic Club members, for he has been 
elected chairman of their Board of Governors. Spotted fever spoiled one 
May and June for him. 

In politics, it's "T. R. any old time" for this Idaho citizen of ours. On 
woman suffrage, however, he disagrees with King Theodore, and it takes 
three exclamation points to emphasize his single sentiment "Nix" on this 
vital issue. Wood favors tariff for revenue only and he takes the initiative, 
referendum, and recall of officers and judges without a gulp. Yet in Idaho, 
this is being a "conservative" as Wood styles himself. 

Wood, these effete Easterners among us want to know what under the 
sun you've left for a Boise radical to cling to? Doesn't he make the old time 
Idaho gun man look like a half wit with a rusty cap pistol? 

ALFRED HOUGHTON ABBOTT* 

(a) 227 Cedar Street, Corning, N. Y. 

(c) Care of Post & Flagg, no Prudential Building, Buffalo, 
N. Y. 

Banking and brokerage. Manager of Buffalo office of Post & Flagg. 

Married Susan Florantine Orr on September 22, 1909, at Worcester, Mass. 

Fred consented to act as a division secretary for the Class last year 
(1911) for the section of Buffalo and Western New York. He is bully as 
an assistant class secretary but he is essentially modest and retiring and will 
not talk or write about himself. We're sorry that we have not a lot to 
tell about banking and brokerage in Buffalo. 

FREDERIC STACY ACKLEY 

(ab) 1 103 Union Street, Schenectady, New York 
(c) Advertising Department, General Electric Co. 

Chief clerk of Advertising Department, General Electric Company. 
Complete charge of placing of copy, cuts and of correspondence. 

Born September 5, 1884. Son of Frederic C. Ackley and Emilie R. Ackley. 

Prepared at Newark Academy. A.B., Princeton 1907. Member of 

Princeton Alumni Association of Albany and Vicinity. Has attended 

all the reunions. 
Married Frances Adelaide Jackson, December 25, at East Orange, N. J. 

Frederic Barcroft Ackley, born at Butler, Pa. 

"I chose it on the third guess." This is the way Fred Ackley landed in 
his present work. And the third guess he intends to be the final one, for 
this is the work he thinks is his forte. 

Here's Fred's hobby, — "Bringing up a small son." 

With these vital things off our mind, we can now set down a little 
about the ordinary things of Fred's life. First as to politics — always trust 



Fred for the original — he's an Independence Leaguer. Nomad that he is, 
he votes whenever he stays long enough in one place. 

And you, Fred, how can you dare to be "on the fence", as you say, on 
this matter of woman suffrage? An Independence Leaguer, do .you deny 
the rights and liberties of more than one half of mankind ! Fie upon you. 
Let us hope you have slid over on the . right side of the fence since you 
answered the circular, 

Fred is a rooter for Woodrow Wilson as a "Middler", favoring super- 
vision of corporations, a tariff for revenue, and is for all the new styles 
in government except the recall of judges. 

"I am in better condition for what little fencing, boxing and gym work I 
did in college," he writes, as he tells of continuing in regular gymnasium 
work now at the Y. M. C. A. 

Whether the work Fred is doing is at all the result of the special study 
he did, is up to him to say. But as a special pursuit, he took up the study 
of insurance law and advertising. He was in insurance work for a year and 
later for a year and a half was sporting editor on a newspaper. He writes 
that he has done considerable reading of fiction and of business literature. 

He is a member of the Methodist church. 

LeBARON ADAMS 

(a) Spokane, Washington 

(b) Spokane Club, Spokane, Washington 

(c) 625 Old National Bank Building, Spokane 

Mining. Secretary and treasurer of the Lembi Placer Co. 

Born November 18, 1881. Son of J. R. Adams of Massachusetts and Ella 
D. Adams of Beloit, Wis. Prepared at Exeter. Left Princeton in 
1905. 

Adams writes that he chose his present work, and intends it to be his life 
occupation. His political activity is limited to voting regularly. An un- 
married man, he scorns woman suffrage, is a "Middler" in his political 
views, thinks that a tariff for revenue is what the country needs and per- 
sonifies the spirit of the hustling West by advocating the recall of judges 
and the initiative and referendum. "Not Wilson" is his expression of choice 
for president. 

His recreations consist of horseback riding, snow shoeing and walking. 
Adams has traveled all over the United States and part of Europe. We 
hope that his next trail will lead Princetonward for him to participate in the 
large seventh reunion which he advocates. 

JOHN PERCY COLEMAN ALDEN* 

(a) Cornwall, Pa. 

No word heard since 1909, when he was studying law at the University 
of Pennsylvania.

JAMES ADDISON McMILLAN ALEXANDER 

(a b) 852 Jefferson Street, Jackson, Mississippi 
(c) Capital National Bank Building, Jackson 

Lawyer. Member of firm of Alexander & Alexander 
Born October 28, 1886. Son of C. H. Alexander of Kosciusko, Miss., and 
Matilda McMillan Alexander of Starkville, Miss. Prepared at the 
High School, Jackson, Miss. Entered Princeton September, 1904; A.B., 
Princeton 1906; LL.B., University of Mississippi 1907. Attended first 
and fifth reunions. 
Married Mildred Agnes Thompson, October 28, 1908, at Jackson ,Mississippi. 
Mildred Helen Alexander, born December 9, 1909 at Jackson. 

Like most real lawyers in the South, Alec is a statesman and in the po- 
litical life of the community. As fqr the law, it's his direct choice, it is what 
he is best suited for and he's in it for good. Alec's political work so far has 
largely consisted of helping in his father's campaign before the State Legis- 
lature for the United States Senatorship against John Sharp Williams. Of 
course, he's a Democrat and for Woodrow Wilson. He calls himself a 
"Conservative", but believes in the initiative, referendum, and recall of officers, 
though not in woman suffrage. He's for a return to unlimited competition 
in business, and for State control of corporations not engaged in interstate 
commerce. So much for Alec's statesmanship. 

He has studied as a special subject in his profession the law of insurance. 
Of other reading he has done a moderate amount in fiction, politics, and 
history. 

Yes, he's in athletics, chiefly tennis at the Y. M. C. A. in his home city. 
He is one of the few who have felt bad effects from athletics at college, too 
much baseball causing loss of weight. Alec has been in the style of the 
age and had an operation for appendicitis two years after leaving college. 

He is interested in Y. M. C. A. work and in foreign mission work as a 
Presbyterian. 

He has travelled in half of the United States and in Europe. 

Alec, this letter of yours is a breeze except in the second sentence. Your 
philosophy is wrong. This business of dying is not important at all. It's 
the least little thing we do. We like the snap of your last sentence. Good 
luck! 

He writes : 

"Have recently built a home but have not fully paid for it. Have nothing 
else important to do but die. Have been abroad. Am practicing law at which 
I am making a moderate living. Have persuaded two younger brothers to 
attend Princeton." 

CHARLES ARTHUR AMBROSE

(c) 5 Nassau Street, New York City

Banking and bonds. In the bond department of White, Weld & 
Co., Bankers. 

Born August 14, 1884. Son of Harry T. Ambrose and E. R. Ambrose. Pre- 
pared at Newark Academy. Litt.B., Princeton 1906. Member of 
Princeton Club of New York. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly. Regular 
attendant at the reunions. 

Evidently believing that there were still a few pennies in Wall street 
without claimants, Art chose his work there and intends to stick at it. 

In politics, he is a Republican and might be called a conservative stand- 
patter, believing in President Taft, a protective tariff, and moderate limited 
Government supervision of corporations. 

His reading has been along general lines. He has skated, golfed, played 
tennis and bowled for his sport and exercise. England, France, Germany, 
Italy and Ireland have seen his face, but he has not followed the popular 
slogan of "See America First". 

He advocates a permanent reunion costume and joins in the general 
desire for a large seventh reunion. 

HARRISON WILLIAM AMBROSE 

(ab) 265 Centre Street, Orange, N. J. 
(c) 100 Washington Square, New York City 

Publishing, Connected with manufacturing department of the 
American Book Company. 

Born October 24, 1882. Son of Harry T. Ambrose and E. R, Ambrose. 
Prepared at Newark Academy. Litt.B., Princeton 1906. Member of 
Orange Alumni Association. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly. Has 
attended all reunions. 

If there's a reunion or a Class party on the boards or a committee meet- 
ing for working up some Class affair, you know that one man will surely be 
on hand. That's Harry Ambrose. If there's a Class job to be done and 
some one is wanted to eat it up with a laugh and a snap and a bite, Harry 
Ambrose gets called on like as not. If you happen to feel a little blue 
and a fellow comes along with a deep bass pitch in his throat and a powerful 
swat on your back with a great big paw, Ambrose is likely the man. When- 
ever there's a chance to get together with the Class and make the bond of 
fellowship and union among us all more vital as the years go on, Harry Am- 
brose is always one to be in the game. He's in the Class for keeps like a good 
many others who are perpetuating Class friendships for a life time, friend- 
ships that are growing more deep and extending more broadly among a 
whole lot of men in the Class. 

Since graduation, Harry has been working through the various depart- 
ments of the American Book Company, laboring all sorts of hours. He has 

II 



now attained that enviable height from which a cigar can be smoked in a 
public restaurant without the slightest tremor as the boss walks by. 

He writes that he does not believe in woman suffrage. But since he wrote 
us, the splendid suffrage parade formed ranks directly under his window, 
so we fain would ask the question again. Such a demonstration of enthusi- 
asm and — might we add — grace of the unprivileged sex, must surely have had 
its effect. Where so many buxom looking women were interspersed among 
the determined throng, no man who led a famous Glee Qub through the 
social centers of the land could fail to sense emotion, or realize that these 
suffering suffragists might in some degree be justified in asking a direct 
chance in selecting their office holding bosses. (Editor's Note — This piece is 
written with feeling by one of the leading woman suffrage advocates of the 
Class.) 

Harry has done consistent church work and has raised such a cloud 
of dust, setting the youngsters of Orange boxing the heads off each other in 
the Boys' Club of the town, that he has been put in charge of next year's 
work of the club. 

He is a regular Republican but would stand for the initiative and 
referendum if not asked to swallow the recall. He picked Mr. Taft as his 
choice for the presidency. 



WILLIAM HEEBNER ANDERS, Jr. 

(a) 523 Columbia Avenue, Lansdale, Pa. 

(b) 2622 West Somerset Street, Philadelphia 

(c) Care of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia. 

Clerk. 

Born August 10, 1882. Son of the Rev. E. S. Anders of Kulpsville, Pa., and 
Susannah Anders, of West Point, Pa. Prepared at Perkiomen Semin- 
ary. A.B., Princeton, 1906. 

One of the interesting notes in his reply is this, — "Date and Place of 
Marriage — Will come to pass soon." Just across the page, he has written : 
"Have no incidents of my life to tell but have had lots of hard and lots of 
good luck." We congratulate you Bill for the good luck you announce in 
the opening sentence. 

One of the heaviest pieces of hard luck mentioned by Bill is a severe 
attack of nervous prostration that got him several years ago. His sickness 
was a severe one. It interfered much with his work. 

He has had a lot of fun and has been very active in the work of the 
Boy Scouts of America, of which he is a Scout Master. He gets his sports 
and athletics in company with the boys that he looks after in his troop. 

In politics. Bill goes the limit as to the trust problem, believing in 
unlimited competition in business under government supervision. He be- 
lieves in woman suffrage, in the initiative, referendum, and in the recall of 



officers only. He ranks himself as a "Middler" in the public questions of 
the day, and is a supporter of Woodrow Wilson for the presidency. He is a 
member of the Keystone party of his state, but is not active in politics. 

He is active in the work of the First Schwenpfelder Church, as the 
president of the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip and one of the vice- 
presidents of the Philadelphia Union. He has been a delegate on several 
occasions to Y. M. C. A. conventions. 

JOHN BOUKER ANDERSON 

(a) Madison, N. J. 

(b) 121 East Twenty-first Street, New York City 

(c) 24 State Street, New York. 

President. The Bouker Contracting Co. 

Born June 16, 1883. Son of Calvin Anderson and Mary Bouker Anderson. 
Prepared at Newark Academy. A.B., Princeton 1906. Member of the 
Alumni Association of the Oranges. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly. 
Attended the fifth reunion. 

GRAY ARCHER 

(a) Chapel Hill, N. C. 

(b) Phoenix, Ariz. 

(c) The Valley Bank, Phoenix, Ariz. 
Bank Clerk. 

Born June 16, 1883. Son of Calvin Anderso nand Mary Bouker Anderson. 
Archer of Columbus, Ga. A.B., University of North Carolina. Entered 
Princeton 1905; Litt.B., Princeton, 1906. 
Married Pearl Irvin, May 3, 191 1, at Phoenix, Ariz. 

"There has been no especial feature in my life since graduation," he 
writes, "except my moving to Arizona in 1910 and being married in May, 
1911." 

Gray Archer is another of our Westerners whose ideas of what conser- 
vatism is in politics would certainly shock a standpatter. He is for a tarifif 
for revenue only, he advocates all the initiative, referendum and recall ideas, 
underscores his vote for woman suffrage, and calls all this the creed of a 
"Conservative". He is a Democrat and for Woodrow Wilson. 

His reading has been in moderate amount and mostly fiction. 

WYNN ARMSTRONG 

(a) Box 315, Camden, N. J. 

(b) 432 Linden Street, Camden, N. J. 

(c) Security Trust Building, Camden, N. J. 
Lawyer. 

13 



Born February 5, 1883. Son of E. A. Armstrong and Mellie M. Fortmer 
Armstrong. Prepared at Lawrenceville. A.B., Princeton, February 
1907; LL.B., Harvard Law School. Member of the Princeton Club of 
Philadelphia. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attendtd the first 
and fifth reunions. 

"Very prosaic" — Wynn's answer to the searching after anecdotes and 
other thrills of his life. 

Well, Wynn, it takes the original man nowadays in our lively civilization 
of suffragettes, Bull Mooses rampant and recalls of everything, to lead a 
life "very prosaic". 

We take pleasure in noting that the Class is safe with you and one or 
two other rock ribbed stanch conservatives. You stand against any but a 
very slight butting in of the government on corporations in its supervision, 
for a high (or moderate) protective tariff, against the new f angled recalls, 
woman suffrage and the rest with emphatic "Nos," and for Taft. We feel 
reassured. 

Here you are at old college tricks again, — getting up glorified syllibi for 
hasty law students going in for examinations. We quote answer about 
intellectual work done since college: 

"Compiled certain New Jersey statutes useful for students for the bar 
examinations and with another fellow, G. M. Bryson, wrote a paraphrase 
digest of them." 

Wynn Armstrong has specialized in the law on statutory subjects. 

For relief from this heavy programme, he's active in gym work and in 
basketball at the Y. M. C. A. He is active in the Baptist Church and in 
the Men and Religion Forward Movement and runs a Sunday School class 
of seventeen boys. 

He has travelled in more than two-thirds of the United States and in 
Europe. 

THOMAS HENRY ATHERTON, Jr. 

(ab) 36 West River Street, Wilkesbarre, Pa. 
(c) 1.000 Coal Exchange, Wilkesbarre, Pa. 

Architect. In business for himself. 

Born January 16, 1884. Son of Thomas Henry Atherton and Melanio Parke 
Atherton. Prepared at Hillman Academy. A.B., Princeton 1906; S.B., 
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Member of the Princeton 
Club of Northeastern Pennsylvania. 

Bill went to Boston Tech, specializing in architecture. Later, he worked 
for a time in the offices of Carrere & Hastings, the New York City archi- 
tects. He put on the finishing touches at the Beaux Arts in Paris. Ever 
since the inspiration of Professor Marquand's course, Bill has been so im- 
bued with the spirit of architecture that he has fixed it now as his life work. 

14 



Modelling is his hobby; riding, swimming and tennis are his diversions. 
Politically, Bill considers himself a "Middler". He favors Woodrow Wilson, 
a tariff for revenue, government supervision of corporations, a qualified wo- 
man suffrage, the initiative, referendum, and recall of officers, but not of 
judges. He is not enrolled in any political party. 

He has been doing some work with the Boy Scouts and while in New 
York was interested in the Christodora Settlement House. 

He has travelled through nineteen states and most of Europe, having 
followed the appeal of his famous Princetonian editorial — "Why not Cut the 
Warts off the Feet of the Track Team and Tell Them to Run Like Hell?" 
But now, he sits quietly in his little work-shop "a drawin' and a plannin' o' 
houses for humans to live in." 



CHARLES WILLIAM GREVEL BAITER 

(ab) Short Hills, N. J. 
(c) 60 Wall Street, New York City 

Lawyer. Associated with Morgan, Morgan & Carr. 

Born December 21, 1883. Son of J. P. Baiter and Kate Eva Baiter, both of 
Cincinnati. Prepared at Columbia Grammar School. C.E., Princeton 
1906; LL.B., New York Law School 1908. Member Princeton Club 
of New York. Attended first, third and fifth reunions. 

Married Madeleine Englis, February 3, 1909, New York City. 
Constance Baiter, born January 27, 1910, New York City. 

"In what countries outside the United States have you been? — Brooklyn, 
— went to see Sammy Reid." C W. G. Baiter. 

Dear Charles, why do you jest with sacred things — Brooklyn and our 
Sammy? Do you not know that Brooklyn is the home of the Brooklyn 
Rapid Transit? Do you not know that Our Reid spends his time persuading 
people to throw themselves under its gentle-natured cars that he may defend 
the company against their claims — and live? Do you not know that the well 
known Dr. Cook began his career of discovery by discovering himself and in 
Brooklyn? Do you not know that the opening of the Gowanus Canal, by 
avoiding the dangerous passage through the Wallabout, will bring Broadway 
five days nearer Canarsie as the crow flies? Shame upon you for your rude 
jesting, surrounded though you be by Etherington and others those Man- 
hattan savages ! 

You say you are interested in "most everything" outside your own 
business or profession ! Huh, we would ask you, "Why don't you mind your 
own business?" when you go making bald jests about Brooklyn. So there! 

(Editor's Note to the Class — The above is a rebuke, administered at the 
order of Samuel J. Reid and properly paid for by him. CharHe has since, in 
penitence for his jesting at Brooklyn, moved to Short Hills, N. J.) 

Charlie, in addition to your knowledge of geography, we note what a 

15 



lot you know about politics. We quote largely. We like this as to belief 
in woman suffrage. 

"To a certain extent, — I don't believe women ought to be treated like 
dogs." 

And there's a snap to this about corporation regulation. 

"Only public corporations and regulation by a sane body of business 
men, not politicians." 

You do not believe in the initiative, and the rest, and you don't express 
a choice for President because like true sports, you "don't play favorites". 

His special work in law has been in "evidence, trials and pleadings". He 
is not in athletics. He is in the Lutheran Church. 

(Editor's Private Note to Charlie — To your queary, "Why such a big 
space?" the answer is "It's up to you.") 

JULIUS PRATT BALMER 

(ab) 415 Dempster Street, Evanston, 111. 
(c) 1438 Marquette Building, Chicago, 111, 

Advertising. Western advertising manager for F. M. Tupton, 
Publisher, New York. 

Born July 20, 1885. Son of Thomas Balmer, born in England, and Helen 
Clark Pratt Balmer of New York. Prepared at Evanston Academy. 
Entered Princeton 1904. Litt.B., Princeton 1906. Member of the 
Princeton Club of Chicago. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. At- 
tended fifth reunion. 

Married Louise Congdon, June 23, 1910, at Evanston, 111. 
Louis Congdon Balmer, born April 21, 1911. 

Julius went into the advertising business because he liked its looks, 
stayed in because he liked the feel of it. He has read most everything he 
could lay his hands on that could influence his business and the left over 
time he has given to fiction, history and economics. 

He plays tennis and golf for exercise, has travelled in about 20 states 
on business, has visited England, Ireland and the Continent. 

Woodrow Wilson is his presidential preference. He believes in a 
combination of a protective and revenue tariff, in somewhat restricting 
business competition, and a limited degree of government supervision of 
corporations. But as for woman suffrage and the initiative, referendum and 
recall, none of it for Julius. 

JOHN BERNARD BANIGAN

Real Estate. In business for himself.

ALEXANDER WILLIAM BANNWART 

(b) 102 Fuller Street, Brookline, Mass. 

(c) 52 New Herald Building, Boston, Mass. 

Secretary of the Greater Boston Baseball League. 

Born December 25, 1880 in Switzerland. Son of Frank Bannwart born in 
Switzerland, and Therese Bannwart born in Germany. Prepared at 
Andover, A.B., Princeton 1906. Member of Princeton Association of 
New England. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly. Attended fifth reunion. 

Well, Bann, we don't like to crow about it, but we always did say in 
and out of college that we'd like to see the man or men that could keep you 
out of athletics, after the way you got into every sport that ever came to 
college when we were undergrads, and made a killing in them. It's the 
call of the blood that makes you a baseball manager now. Good luck! 

Let the class read what athletics in college did for you. 

"Nothing but good," you write. "Increased self-reliance, courage, te- 
nacity, self-control, initiative." That's the stuff that helped us yank 1901 
round the lot in the tug-of-war at the fifth reunion. 

These results came from soccer, gym work and baseball. Bann hasn't 
had the sign of any serious illness. He is not a member of any team or 
actively engaged in other organized athletics, but he writes : "I endeavor to 
have a few hours of outdoor exercise each week." 

He does not expect to stay in baseball league work permanently. He 
studied for two years at Harvard Law but worked out an entirely new way 
of running a baseball league and gave up the law to devote all his attention 
to baseball. 

PoHtically, Bann is a supporter of Woodrow Wilson. He classes him- 
self as a "Middler", believes in woman suffrage, the initiative, referendum 
and recall of officers, a revenue for tariff, and extensive combination of 
corporations under government supervision. 

He is interested in boys' work and is a member of the Harvard 
Church where he teaches and assists in other ways. 

RALPH AUSTIN BARD

Bond business. Partner and sales manager with F. B. Hitchcock Co. 

Born, July 29, 1884. Son of George M. Bard and Helen Norwood Bard. 

Prepared at Hyde Park High School, Chicago. B.S., Princeton 1906. 

Member of the Princeton Club of Chicago. Subscribes to the Alumni 

Weekly. Attended the third and fifth reunions.

Ralph Austin Bard, Jr., born December 20, 1909, in Chicago. 

17 



Choosing his work, Ralph intends to make it a life job, believing it to 
be best suited to him. His political activities have been confined to voting 
regularly. He believes in government supervision of corporations, a revenue 
tariff and although against the initiative and referendum, thinks that Wood- 
row Wilson is the best man for president. No woman suffrage for him. 

He retains his active interest in sports, and goes after golf, tennis, 
baseball, or anything else, whenever he gets time. But he believes that 
athletics in college developed the large organs such as heart and lungs be- 
yond their present requirements, resulting in a sort of stagnation of the 
system. 

When we get down to "Hobbies", along comes Ralph as well trained a 
domestic family man as any pretty suburb could turn out, for mark ye, he 
ranks "gardening" side by side with "sports" as his hobby. That boy of 
his, however, is the real "special interest", if anyone should ask you. 

He believes in an intensive rather than an extensive reunion plan to keep 
the class within its own tent and to promote "mixing". 

Ralph writes like a seer of his mining experiences just after college. 
He says : "I spent a year in Nevada accumulating valuable mining experi- 
ence. Had lots of exercise both physical and financial." Then he adds feel- 
ingly: "Don't put money into an embryo mining proposition that you will 
need for any other purpose." 

KENNETH BIGHAM BARNES 

(a) Gettysburg, Pennsylvania 

(b) Manoa Valley, Honolulu, Hawaii 

(c) P. O. Box 449, Honolulu, Hawaii 

Secretary and treasurer of the Hawaiian Pineapple Co., Ltd. 

Born August 9, 1885. Son of W. S. Barnes and Mary A. Bigham Barnes. 
Prepared at the High School, Council Bluffs, Iowa. A.B., Princeton 
1906. Member of the Princeton Club of Honolulu. Subscribes to 
Alumni Weekly. Attended first reunion. 

Married Carolyn Louise Sheffield, June 20, 191 1, at Honolulu, Hawaii. 

Ken is one of the outposts of the Class, stationed to welcome all outgoing 
and home coming 1906 Orientalists at the lovely stopping place of the 
Pacific, Honolulu. Who could think of a more charming place to hve in or 
what is more delightful than the fragrant business of the pineapple? Ken, 
we believe you, like all the dwellers of the South Seas, are of the lotus eaters 
and dwell in that soft, hazy air of semi-tropical indolence. Otherwise, you 
would have filled your circular brim full of all kinds of interesting Hawaiian 
things, how you go to work from your house every morning on a surf board 
instead of a trolley strap, what the good Queen Lil is doing, or heavier themes 
of the Japanese and their supposed conquest ambitions. But now instead 
we have to write this sort of truck for you. Who would not be a lotus 

18 



eater? We envy you out there in the Pacific and the next time any of us 
are crossing the seven seas, we'll sojourn long with you. 

What's the use of politics or public question or other useless things any- 
way in a place that is as near perfect as your Hawaii? We do note though 
that you are a Woodrow Wilson supporter. What's this of your belief 
in unrestricted combination of corporations? Are you one of the world's 
pineapple "interests" and are we to look for a cornering of the market and 
more high cost of living as the result of some merger you are putting 
through? Halt, base corporation magnate, and think of the pineapple you're 
taking out of the mouths of widows and orphans ! Would Governor Wilson 
stand for this? 

Good luck. Ken, out in the Pacific ! We're going to have that big tenth 
reunion you want and you are evidently planning to be here for. In the 
meantime, possibly a few of us may drop in on you for one of your favorite 
games of tennis or soccer. 

ROBERT IRVING BARR* 

(ab) 70 Berkeley Avenue, Orange, N. J. 
(c) Care of Schmidt & Gallatin_, 11 1 Broadway, New York City 

Investment banking and brokerage. With Schmidt & Gallatin. 

We haven't a circular from Bob, but we do know something about his 
fi.ne activity for the Class. As a member of the reunion committee, he has 
done the Class big service. In all Class dinners and other interests, his lively, 
efficient activity counts large. He puts red blood into his work for the Class 
and has a big share in supplying some of the vigor and snap that keep us a 
sparkling young class organization. 

RALPH ANDREW BEZANSON BARRY 

(b) 2493 Valentine Avenue, corner Fordham Road, New York 

City 

(c) Care N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R., 70 East 45th St., New York 

City 

Assistant Engineer with the New York Central Railroad in charge 
of the design of various steel and masonry structures in the elec- 
tric zone from New York to Peekskill and White Plains. 

Born November 30, 1883, at Canal Dover, Ohio. Son of Joseph Alfred Be- 
zanson Barry of St. John, New Brunswick, and the late Lucina Runyan 
Barry of Jamestown, N. Y. Prepared at the Boys' High School, 
Brooklyn. C.E., Princeton, 1906. Attended the first and third reunions. 

Married Claudine Jeanette Paff on May 20, 1908 at Trenton, N. J. 
Kathryn Barry, born September 14, 1911, in New ^ork City.

Naturally, a man who picked out his profession before he entered college 
and went through the C.E. course at Princeton, got his profession by choice. 
This is the case with Ralph Barry who finds the work eminently suited to 
him. Most of his reading and study is done in his profession in keeping 
up to the times. 

He is a Woodrow Wilson man, though a Republican, being enough of a 
Democrat on tariff questions to believe in a tariff for revenue. He advocates 
complete government supervision of corporations, also the initiative, referen- 
dum and recall but plants himself against woman suffrage. 

"I do some walking, play 'at' baseball occasionally, go skating when 
there is ice and swim in summer," he writes. Thirty-eight states of the 
Union and Canada have seen him. 



MOREY CUTLER BARTHOLOMEW 

(ac) 1106 Prudential Building, Buffalo, N. Y. 
(b) West Falls, N. Y. 

Lawyer. Junior partner in firm of Bartholomew & Bartholomew. 

Born, July 6, 1883. Son of Abram Bartholomew of North Collins, N. Y., 
and Florence Cutler Bartholomew of Holland, N. Y. Prepared at 
Masten Park High School, Buffalo, N. Y. A.B., Princeton, 1907, after 
being out of college from September 1904, to September 1905. LL.B., 
University of Buffalo 1909. Member of the Princeton Club of Buffalo. 

Married Ethel Mary Holmes, June 25, 191 1, at West Falls, N. Y. 

Jessie Marion Bartholomew, born March 25, 1912, West Falls, N. Y. 

Bart is one of the several lawyers of the Class who have for their 
hobbies "the farm". What hobby could be better, O ye creatures of stone 
pavements and strap hanging trolleys in the cities? 

The law was simply a matter of "inheritance" with Bart. He didn't 
have to choose it and it didn't have to be dictated to him by circumstances. 
There was naturally nothing else that occurred to him to do, because it's 
much of a family tradition. Bart is one of our rising young politicians, too, 
in a modest way. He has been a delegate to the Republican county conven- 
tion and in a recent campaign canvassed votes. He's another case of a 
Republican going over to the support of Woodrow Wilson, and classes him- 
self among the "Middlers", with an advocacy of unlimited competition in 
business and government supervision of corporations, a revenue tariff, en- 
dorsement of the new governmental ideas, except the recall of judges, and 
opposed to woman suffrage "at the present time". 

He is not interested in athletics. The amount of reading he has done 
has been modest and he is not active in religious and philanthropic work, 
outside of membership in the Presbyterian Church.

HOWARD PRESTON BARTRAM* 

(a) 67 Washington Street, Newark, N. J. 

Howard was at the fifth reunion and enjoyed it immensely. He has not 
been heard from by the class secretary since. 

HARRY OGDEN BATES, Jr.* 

(a) Madison Avenue, Morristown, N. J. 

Married Sadie Marguerite Wilmerding, June 26, 1912, at Morristown. 

He has recovered very materially from the injury he received in the 
tank at Princeton while in college in 1905. Last June (1912) a number of 
the Class were happy to have the privilege of sending him congratulations 
upon his marriage to Miss Sadie Marguerite Wilmerding at Morristown. 

JULIAN BONAR BEATY 

(a) Georgetown, South Carolina 

(b) 501 Cathedral Parkway, New York City 

(c) Room 14, City Hall, New York City 

Secretary to the President, Borough of Manhattan, New York City. 

Born, December 10, 1880. Son of Edgar R. Beaty of Conway, South Caro- 
lina and Emma J. Collins Beaty of Georgetown, S. C. Prepared at 
Princeton Prep. School. A.B., Princeton 1906; LL.B., New York 
Law School 1908. Admitted to the New York Bar, 1908. Member of 
Princeton Club of New York. Has attended first and fifth reunions. 

Julian is one of the few men in the Class who is in intimate touch with 
big things in the political life of the country. As secretary to Borough Presi- 
dent McAneny of Manhattan, he has an active share in most of the important 
things that are done in the big city. The Manhattan Borough President has 
become a leading figure in New York through his handling of the subway 
proposition involving around $300,000,000, for the extensive new city subway 
system. Julian Beaty has been closely in touch with this affair. His position 
ia a public position to which he was appointed by the Borough President. 
He is also secretary of all the local improvement boards in Manhattan. The 
extensive street improvements that have been made in the city under the 
direction of President McAneny have been much under the attention of 
Julian. The last time our statesman was in the public eye was just before the 
close of the summer. He was then flying around the city in an automobile, 
inspecting all the parks and recreation piers to see how effective had been 
the plan largely engineered by his chief, of band concerts all over the city 
during the summer for the entertainment of the poor, drawing them out 
into the public recreation grounds. His legal education enables him to handle 
much of the legal work that comes before his chief. 



Perhaps the biggest thing of his office is the fact that he is in direct 
touch with all the drift of the intricate political streams of New York, 
and if, before he is finished with New York, JuHan is not corporation counsel 
or a borough president or comptroller or something in the elected line, 
several people will be missing their guesses. 

He is one of the "Powers that Be" in New York. Just a few words 
over the telephone to influential citizens from our statesman, and insur- 
mountable obstacles melt away. If the Class wants to bring in a bunch of 
Chinese costumes free of duty and the customs officers hold them up, why 
it's just a word from Julian to the U. S. Custom House and things sail in 
smoothly. Or perhaps you want to hold up that thug of a railroad — the New 
York, New Haven and Hartford — to ask them very humbly, hat in hand, to 
stop the train at Larchmont specially for the 1906 chowder party. The ordi- 
nary citizen gets a root in the tail and is thrown out of the office of this 
despot railroad for his polite and timid request. Julian telephones a minute 
or two and all Larchmont wonders what Nabob got the train to stop. It 
hadn't been done before in thirty years. 

He is a Woodrow Wilson rooter, a Democrat of course, and he checks in 
with Dr. Wilson on the initiative, referendum and recall of officers but not 
judges. He is for reasonable government supervision of corporations, a tariff 
for revenue, and is for woman suffrage though under a better system of 
franchise than exists in New York. He characterizes himself as a "progres- 
sive conservative". 

His reading since graduation has not been great. It has been "altogether 
along professional lines or necessary side lines of municipal government." 

Of social and betterment work he writes: "I have been much interested 
in the Children's Court and have done some little work in improving its 
conditions." There is being made in New York a determined effort headed 
by Dean Kirchwey of Columbia University Law School to set up a modern 
Children's Court in the city and Julian has been working in this movement. 

Athletics? Yes. You ought to have been at the chowder party at 
Larchmont this summer to have seen some real swimming. He swept away 
every "solid gold prize" for swimming in sight. Swimming and tennis in 
summer and gym work in winter at the 23d street Y. M. C. A. make up his 
athletic activities. 

Hobbies? "Nothing except making friends and helping the other fellow 
whenever I can." 

Here's an interesting suggestion for a reunion tent stunt : "I think it 
would be good fun if we could have a 'medical clinic' next year." 

He writes : "Every day is a 'continued story'. I could talk about it but 
it would be impossible to reduce it to writing in any brief space." 

DONALD WELDON BELL 

(a) 130 Kennedy Street, Bradford, Pa. 
(be) Glamorgan, Va. 

22 



Head of office with title of cashier and general assistant to manager 
of Currier Lumber Corporation, manufacturers of lumber and 
staves. 

Born October 21, 1885. Son of W. W. Bell. Prepared at Bradford High 
School. A.B., Princeton 1906. 

Well, Don, we agree with you. "Life-work" as applied to a plain ordi- 
nary "job" is "ridiculous" as a term. Let's call it "work for life" or some- 
thing having more of a life sentence ring to it. There doesn't appear to us to 
be much of the *'life-work" idea about the regular work-a-day job, but then 
there may be something. A trip to Princeton does a whole lot to clear 
the atmosphere. 

Here's a list of interests outside of work that Donald Bell has — "Music, 
reading and sports generally, especially baseball, tennis and bowling. Play 
tennis and bowl whenever I have the opportunity," he writes. 

Not active in politics, in political belief Don is purely a progressive, 
calling himself a "Middler". As before the nominations, his choice lay be- 
tween La Follette and Woodrow Wilson, he is most probably a Wilson 
follower now. He is for corporation supervision along the lines of the 
Public Service Commission of New York, believes in the initiative, referen- 
dum and recall, but not the recall of judges, and in tariff for revenue only. 

"I am perfectly willing that women should vote but do not believe they 
would improve conditions," he writes. 

In reading, Don has done much in history, literature and fiction, and 
has studied in the oil and lumber industries outside the required work of 
his job, 

FRANK ALLEN BERRY 

(ab) 123 Ninth Avenue South, Nashville, Tenn. 
(c) 304 Union Bank Building, Nashville, Tenn. 

Lawyer. 

Born, October 13, 1885. Son of W. W. Berry of Nashville, Tenn., and Alice 
M. Allen Berry of Gallatin, Tenn. Prepared at Wallace's University 
School. Entered Princeton, September, 1904. A.B., Princeton, 1906; 
LL.B., Harvard 1909. Member of the Tennessee Alumni Association. 

Married Eleanor Redway, November 22, 191 1, at Boston, Mass. 

Frank went into law as a profession because he preferred it after study- 
ing it with a view of entering commercial life. He finds it is what he wants 
and what is best suited to him. He has specialized in banking law and his 
reading has been almost entirely professional. 

In politics, Woodrow Wilson is his choice for president. Frank de- 
scribes himself as a "conservatve Middler", says "emphatically no" to the 
new styles of government and is opposed to woman suffrage. He believes 

23 



in combination in business with reasonable restriction by the government to 
prevent absolute monopolies through a charter and Federal tax law. 

Tennis and occasional gymnasium work are his physical diversions. In 
travel, he has gone over 35 states, on both business and pleasure, besides 
having journeyed through the British Isles and on the Continent. 

SINGLETON HINMAN BIRD 

(ab) 43 Fifth Avenue, New York City, 
(c) 20 Broad Street, Nev^ York City. 

Banking and brokerage. Member of the firm of Pendergast, Hale 
& Co. and in charge of the bond department. 

Born July 9, 1883. Son of Edward O. Bird and Sarah E. Hinman Bird, 
both of New York. Prepared at the Hill School. A.B., Princeton 
1906. Member of the Princeton Club of New York. Subscribes to 
the Alumni Weekly. Has attended all the reunions. 

Married Olivia Hitchcock on June 4, 1910, at Narragansett Pier, R. I. 

Hobby? "Collecting money for the Class of 1906 Memorial Fund." If 
any census collector wants a little work, let him run around to Hinman 
to measure up how many miles of letters he's written to the Class to get 
money for the Memorial Fund. A Sunday newspaper magazine writer could 
measure it better. When placed end to end, the letters Hinman has written 
that have brought both answers and money, might reach in mileage from 
New York to Buffalo. Those written that have brought only answers might 
extend further west from Buffalo to Chicago. The flood of letters he has 
written that have brought no replies at all, money nor paper, would circle 
west to China, round the globe and back again to New York. 

What's the matter with burning up this part of the trail in the future and 
giving Hinman more of a chance to get some enjoyment out of the "Hobby" 
by answering his letters promptly? 

It's a rare Memorial Fund Chairman that makes collecting for the fund 
his hobby and one of his biggest outside interests. It's a fine record that 1906 
has in its Memorial Fund, — about $10,000 collected in six years, one of the 
largest amounts collected by any class in that time. It is the dogged, deter- 
mined, untiring effort of Hinman Bird that is responsible for this splendid 
showing. A locomotive for his hobby and the way he's carrying it out! 

And now for some biography. 

We come to the question, "Names of children ; date and place of birth of 
each" and report verbatim the answer written in the bold large hand of 
Hinman, our scrivener, with that well-known spirit of his, — 

"While there's life, there's hope!" 

We pass on quickly, yea blushingly, to a more prosaic theme, business. 
This banking bond work is all right, says Hinman, and will do "until I 
retire". But as for it's being the thing best suited to him, — Heavens ! 

24 



"No, my natural inclination is to loaf," he declares. That's why no 
doubt he was made a partner not long ago. 

He is a Republican, believing in the present national administration, and 
is opposed to the new political doctrines. He is for President Taft; 

His reading has been wide and varied, ranging from fiction to works 
on banking and railroads. Until recently, he was a member of Squadron 
A of the New York militia and of the Princeton Club squash team. Just 
read any sporting page of a New York daily and you will see that he's 
some pumpkins at squash. He held the championship of the Princeton 
Club one year. 

He is interested in Y. M, C. A. work and as for travel, he has sailed the 
Seven Seas. 

He writes : "I really enjoyed the Fifth Reunion more than anything, for 
how could life be more full than with one's wife and friends. I had both 
at the last Commencement (1911). Our reunion was the most successful yet 
and I am eagerly looking forward to the Septennial and hope for the same 
democratic fellowship and good time." 

ALFRED LAWRENCE BLACK. JR. 

(ab) 515 Sixteenth Street, Bellingham, Wash. 
(c) Mason Block, Belhngham, Wash. 

Lawyer. Member of firm of Black & Black. 

Born November 22, 1884. Son of Alfred L. Black of Jobstown, N. J. and 
Ada Abbott Black. Prepared at Trinity, San Francisco, Cal. A.B., 
Princeton, 1906. Member of Princeton Club of Seattle. Attended 
first and third reunions. 

Married Frances Arnold, June i, 1909, at Bellingham. 

He's with us once more, — the Class's original and only Alfred Black, 
with the same old good humor and full of laughs. 

He's a lawyer but what happens in sports and athletics seems a lot more 
important to him. There's no use trying to write a poem on Alfred, just 
read his wurrds for yeselves. 

As an opener, take for instance this life anecdote: 

"Have been accused of having played on the Yale 'Varsity Basket-ball 
team! Fair joke on Yale if any one ever saw me play!" 

Question — "If you were in athletics in college, state whether you have 
felt good or bad effects from your activities and of what nature — " 

Answer. "Didn't do enough to feel it." 

Q. "From what branch of sport do you think they came?" 

A. "Broke my arm playing tag — otherwise O. K." 

Q. "Have you had any serious illness since leaving college?" 

A. "Not yet." 

Q. "What?" 

A. "Love sick." 

25 



Having made affidavit in the above convincing and logical terms, Al 
goes on to list his real greatness thus : 

'Titcher Ever-Victorious Baseball Team, Whatcom County Bar 
Association. Was a member Rifle Team, Washington National Guard. Get 
in most any old sport. Tennis a specialty. Boxing." 

But, oh, Alfred, how you disappoint us a line or two lower down ! How 
brawn and manly you rise before us in these sports of war and strife, — a 
soldier that shoots, a boxer that boxes, a barrister that baseballs ! 

Then only to read your hobbies ! We weep. 

"Yachting — Roses — Gardening". 

How effete, how domestic you appear ! 

But here you are scrapping again and using plain old Saxon talk about 
how you keep your church up to date and let them know you are there. 
Here you tell us that as an Episcopalian, the active work you do is to "buck 
the church's butting into politics." 

Do you mean to say that with all Washington crying "Bull Moose" you 
can calmly sit down and snap out "Standpatter" at them, putting yourself 
down for a Republican for president, right or wrong, whoever he may 
be? Hello, here you are laughing at the crowd again answering the ques- 
tion — 

"Do you believe in woman suffrage?" 

"No! We've got it." 

How awful of you, Alfred, not to believe in the initiative, referendum, and 
recall, when everybody in Washington, so we are led to believe, is tearing his 
hair recalling and referending everybody else in sight! And how utterly 
depraved politically you are to say that we ought to be "slow to make 
changes from present condition" in business. You must be in alliance with 
"crooked politics and crooked business" ! Haven't you ever heard Theodore. 
Rex, talk or Angelo Perkins preach the uplift? 

You may be interested to know that you are one of the few that makes 
"stump speeches" in politics. We congratulate you on your public positions 
as Deputy Clerk of the United States Courts, United States Commissioner, 
and as secretary of the Library Board. 

Al Black studied law in the office of his father. His reading since 
graduation has been "plenty" in "law, more law and then some". 

He has traveled in all but three of the United States and his foreign 
explorations have been in Canada and on "High Seas". He is not interested 
in foreign climes, because they're "Too far off." 

"All you can get to go" is his idea of a seventh reunion. 

HARRY FERDINAND BLISS 

(ab) 66 Ridge v^ood Avenue, Newark, N. J. 
(c) 44 Broad Street, New York City 

Reporter. With Dow, Jones & Co., publishers of The Wall Street 
Journal. 

26 



Born February 15, 1885, Son of Harry A. Bliss of Keokuk, Iowa, and Mary 
Doyle Bliss of Newark, N, J. Prepared at Newark High School. A.B., 
Princeton 1906. Member of Princeton Club of Newark. Subscribes 
to the Alumni Weekly. Has attended all the reunions. 

Married Blanche C. Morrow, November 22, 191 1, at Newark, N. J. 

Harry Ferdinand Bliss, confidant of railroad presidents and captains of 
finance, interpreter of the movements of the Stock Market and divulger of 
the secrets of Wall Street to the dear confiding public! All this as one of 
the well known financial writers for the Wall Street Journal. But greater 
achievement than these ! Harry Ferdinand Bliss is now one of Newark's 
best known domesticated little husbands and settled family men, home on 
the jot of 10:30 p. m. even from Class dinners. Harry! Though we mourn 
our loss, we congratulate you in your greatness. 

We draw a curtain over the religious and philanthropic events in the 
h*fe of the subject of our biography, pass quickly over deeds of valor in the 
physical and athletic world, and come to the intellectual side of his nature. 

As a financial writer, Harry has done a considerable amount of study of 
railroads in an analytical way. If you want to know anything about Inter- 
borough or Great Northern, call up Harry. His reading however, has not 
excluded fiction entirely. 

He's not yet one of the "interests" in his political views. He stands for a 
limited supervision of corporations, though not absolute control of prices. 
He doesn't stand for the initiative and referendum and the rest of the list 
nor for woman suffrage. He's for Woodrow Wilson and classes himself as 
a "Middler". 

He writes that he is intimately interested in all countries outside the 
United States, '"in so far as they affect the United States and its activities 
and position as a world power." 

The next time you meet Jim Hill, Harry, ask him what he thinks of 
T. Roosevelt on San Juan Hill. 

Here's for a killing in the stock market ! Good luck ! 

NORRIS HARKNESS BOKUM* 

(a) 609 East Division Street, Chicago, 111. 
(c) 1616 Marquette Building, Chicago, 111. 

Insurance. With the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company. 

If you watch Norris' movements, you shortly become convinced that 
New York is the merest suburb for Chicago. A run on from Chicago once 
or twice a week is like a pleasant little trolley excursion. During the football 
season, it does require rather snappy work on the trains for overnight stays 
in Princeton. And when Princeton was trimming Harvard and Yale regu- 
larly every week a year ago (1911), even Norris acknowledged that the 
travel got a little strenuous. Those days, the Pullman porters on the Penn- 

27 



sylvania flyers, New York and Chicago, regularly mistook Norris for the 
conductor, he got to look so familiar. 

HARRY VARY BONNER* 

(a) Orwell, N. Y. 

Married Bessie Laney, August 15, 1906, at Altmar, N. Y. 

The only record of Bonner is the following, dated September 23, 1907: 
"Since leaving Princeton, I was out of college for a couple of years, then 
entered Syracuse University which is near my home. At the same time I 
am supplying La Fayette Church, at La Fayette, N. Y. Will receive B.A. 
degree from Syracuse in June 1908. While in Syracuse, I have become a 
member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Theta Beta Phi, an honor philosophical 
fraternity. Intend to take a seminary course, perhaps at Princeton and at 
any rate at a Seminary where I can at the same time work for my Ph.D. 
degree in philosophy." 

EDWARD WILD BRADFORD 

(a) 19 College Street, Providence, R. I. 
(be) 26 Mellen Street, Cambridge, Mass, 

Student. Harvard Law School. 

Born November 23, 1883. Son of Lawrence Bradford of Hubbardston,, 
Mass., and Hattie H. Bradford of East Bridgewater, Mass. Prepared 
at Powder Point. A.B., Princeton, 1906. Attended the first reunion. 

"Date and place of marriage — " "No !" 

Doc, it's only fair for you to explain that exclamation point. What 
does it mean? Is it one of these mystic lover's signs like a stamp upside 
down or licked into the lower left hand corner? Or does it mean that we've 
shocked you? Maybe you are holding up your hands in holy horror. But 
we guess it only means, "Oh, pshaw, ! Ha, Ha !" 

Doc is hot after the law and when he answered his circular, pointed out 
that he was teaching at the same time that he was studying at Harvard Law 
He has chosen law as his profession as being best suited to him. He writes 
that he holds public office as a teacher, to which he was appointed. A 
Republican and a "Conservative", he is agin' woman suffrage and the new 
modes of government, and for a protective tariff and government corpora- 
tion supervision on the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission. 

Doc still holds himself with dignity aloof from athletics. 

"How far do you engage in sports not as a team member?" 

"Not at all." 

He has had an attack of appendicitis. 

He writes : "I am afraid my course of life hasn't been especially inter- 

28 



€stmg or replete with anecdote — it has mostly been occupied with the study 
and practice of law." 

He wants a large reunion for the seventh and adds "I am glad we are 
to have one." 

Be on hand ; we'll look for you, Doc.

Princeton 1907. Member of Princeton Qub of Philadelphia. Sub- 
scribes to Alumni Weekly. Attended first and third reunions. 

Jack's circular is full of thrills. It's like reading Sherlock Holmes when 
you are twelve years old and ought to be in bed. So exciting ! It's dashing 
in style, — forty-seven dashes in it, all in answer to carefully printed, well- 
meaning questions. No, we forget. Jack erased one dash and carefully 
substituted a different answer. 

This was the question, "Do you hold any public office in your local, state 
or the national government? If so, what?" 

Answer — ■

JAMES CAMPBELL BRANDON 

(ab) 205 North Main Street, Butler, Pa. 

(c) 208 South Main Street, Butler, Pa. 

Lawyer. Partner in firm of Brandon & Brandon. 

Born July 17, 1884. Son of W. D. Brandon of Butler Co., Pa. and Clara B. 
Campbell Brandon of Butler. Prepared at Mercersburg Academy. 
A.B., Princeton 1906. Member of Princeton Association of Western 
Pennsylvania. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly. Attended third reunion. 

Another lawyer back to the soil ! Campbell's hobby is "Raising fruit 
and poultry and country life in general." 

He writes : "Since graduation, I have spent two years at law school at 
Harvard, one summer as a tutor, a short time in a counting house and the 
rest of the time in studying and practicing law. Domestic life is dis- 
couragingly dull." 

Well, Campbell, we don't believe it, — this dull part of it — after reading 

29 



your circular. You seem to have kept tolerably busy and interestingly so as 
we read. 

In the first place, we remember that you were not among the wan and 
pale in college with yorur 190 pounds or so of robustness, and we see that 
you have kept up a good healthy outdoor life. Here you are a member of the 
Butler Country Club golf team, following your golf at college. Besides that, 
you tennis nowadays and in the winter, you do regular gym work in a class. 
This programme, together with your fruit and poultry raising, seems to us 
New Yorkers a model outdoor life. What if it does take "lots of time" as 
you say? It's the real way to live. 

Then you must have a fine old time with that bunch of boys of yours 
that you have charge of in a summer camp and in the work you do in the 
boys' department of the Y. M. C. A. You'll probably never grow old with a 
gang like that around you. No doubt, it's another bunch of boys, again, that 
you meet in the Sunday School class you teach. 

Getting down to things like politics, one would think that you had had 
some tolerable fun in helping get out the vote on the local ticket and the 
recent Congressional election you assisted in for the Republicans. How are 
you going to explain to them your going over to Woodrow Wilson this fall, 
as you say you have fixed your choice? We note you as a "Conservative", 
against woman suffrage, for the initiative, referendum and recall of local 
officers but not judges, for a revenue tariff, and for only a very limited 
supervision of corporations by the government. 

Your reading and study, too, seem interesting to us, "special attention 
to banking and corporation law," in your profession and "more reading than 
before graduation along general lines of fiction — not present-day writers — 
and history." 

Canada and thirteen states have seen you, on pleasure bent. 

All this doesn't seem a bit dull. 

He writes : "I was very sorry to miss our wonderful fifth reunion but I 
hope I may improve from now on. One cannot always leave the job by 
simply 'taking cuts', the simple method at Princeton." 

Good luck, Campbell, and we hope to see you at both the small Seventh 
and big Tenth reunions you advocate. 

PHILIP BRASHER 

(a) 208 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. 

(c) Care of Huyler's, 64 Irving Place, New York City 

With Huyler's, candy manufacturers. At present in Chicago in 
general managing capacity. 

Born April 13, 1881. Son of Col. Archibald R. Brasher of Brooklyn, N. Y. 
and Katherine Ostermoor Brasher of Brooklyn, N. Y. Prepared at 
Boys' High School, Brooklyn. C.E., Princeton 1906. Subscribes to 
Alumni Weekly. 

30 



Married Jeannette Gilbert, January lo, 1910, at Brooklyn. 

A thing that the rest of the Class will regret much to hear from Phil 
Brasher is that the injuries he received in football in college have caused him 
much trouble. He is just recovering from the serious effects they brought 
on. He has had a nervous breakdown since graduation, but when last heard 
from was getting into good shape. He writes in reply to the questions on the 
effects of athletics in college : 

"Am just recovering from the injuries due to lack of proper training 
and care while in college." 

Phil's activity in athletics, however, is unabated. He gets actively into 
tennis, skating, rowing, canoeing or wrestling, whenever possible. His special 
outside interest is "physical culture." 

One of the things to which Phil has given a great deal of study and 
research outside of his regular business activity since leaving college, has 
been "Harbor Construction" and the "Theory of Wave Motion". He has 
invented and developed an idea for a special breakwater of a pneumatic 
character, on which he is getting a patent. 

His reading along other lines has been in fiction and in technical subjects 
in engineering. 

In politics he has not been active partially through frequent changes of 
residence. He styles himself in political beliefs a "Radical". He expressed 
a choice for La Follette before the conventions were held, and is for 
unlimited supervision of corporations. He believes in woman suffrage, the 
initiative, referendum and recall, and is for a gradual reduction of the 
protective tariff to one for revenue. 

Phil is interested in the work of the United Neighborhood Guild. He 
has been in about 23 states and in Canada. He writes : 

"Haven't accomplished a thing that would be of interest to anyone but 
myself — hardly even to myself." 

FRANCIS MARK BROOKE 

(a) Bryn Mawr, Pa. 

(b) Glimpewood, Bryn Mawr, Pa. 

(c) 104 South Fifth Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 

Bond business. With E. Lowber Stokes. 

Born June 19, 1883. Prepared at De Lancey School, Philadelphia. B.S., 
Princeton 1906. Member of Princeton Club of Philadelphia. Sub- 
scribes to Alumni Weekly. Has attended all the reunions. 

Married Nanna Sturges, June 11, 1907, at Scranton, Pa. 

Anita S. Brooke, born April 4, 1909, at Haverford, Pa. 
Marion Marie Brooke, born June 20, 191 t, at Bryn Mawr, Pa. 

It is a striking coincidence that the contrast between the good and the 
bad effects of college football should have been so vividly drawn in the 

31 



answers of Francis Brooke and of Phil Brasher, whose observations are 
published above. As against the serious injuries and the subsequent evil 
effects from his football that Phil has experienced, Francis Brooke writes 
as follows in answer to the question as to the post-college effects of college 
sport : 

"No bad effects. Much greater activity, energy, endurance and strength. 
Also a training in thinking quickly." 

This, says Francis, resulted from football. He has had no serious illness 
since leaving college. 

"I saw Princeton win at New Haven last fall (1911)" is the way he 
writes of one big "incident, anecdote or feature" of his life. 

"My home," he writes, is his special interest. 

"Finance" has been his special study in his profession. The bond business 
was no fore-ordained plan of campaign that Francis had mapped out for 
himself. He is in it "by chance", but it will probably be what he will stick to. 

In politics, he does not even dabble, just votes regularly. 

"Neither Wilson, Roosevelt, nor possibly Taft", was his summary of 
choice of president by elimination back in the dim ages of 191 1, when this 
book began to be made. He believes in some government supervision of 
corporations "to prevent dishonesty or oppression". He is against woman 
suffrage but may "possibly" favor the three new styles of popular govern- 
ment, and ranks himself a "Middler". 

He is not active in the church but writes of boys' clubs, social work, 
big brother movements, "I believe in them." 

Sixteen states, Canada, and most of Europe have been host to Francis, 
the traveler, at one time or another and of foreign lands he says that he is 
intimately interested "in all that are beautiful". 

He favors a large seventh reunion. 

JOHN NIXON BROOKS

Mary E. Brooks of Bridgeton, N. J. Prepared at Lawrenceville. A.B., 
Princeton 1906; B.S., Massachusetts Institute of Technology 1909. 
Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended the first reunion. 

"After considerable wandering, I have found a most satisfactory position 
' "< Mr. Hill where I have congenial work and good pay," he writes. Bully 
for you, John. 

Photography and general reading are his hobbies.

Of reading, he has done considerable in fiction but it is ''fiction not 
recent!" he writes with a certain suggestion of horror, likewise expressed 
by others, our discerning Classmates. After three years in Tech winning a 
B.S. in civil engineering, John seems to indicate that a life devoted to 'fiction 
is almost necessary as an antidote. His special study has been "Nothing 
outside of technical work except reading English literature." 

"Three years of Boston Tech and incidental reading and study since" 
have constituted his special study in his profession. 

He plays tennis whenever he gets a chance and walks a great deal, John 
carefully noting that he is "not an athlete", nevertheless. 

He teaches a class in Sunday School and contributes regularly in foreign 
mission work. 

His political affiliations are Republican. He chooses President Taft for 
the presidency, but likes a tariff for revenue and favors the initiative, refer- 
endum and recall of officers and judges, in spite of his choice. 

His travels have been in twelve states, in England and Scotland.

Advertising. Solicitor for the Procter & ColHer Co. advertising 
agents. Also a director of the company. 

Born December 23, 1883. Son of Harry W. Brown of Cincinnati, and Lucy 

Mclntyre Brown of Carlisle, Ky. Prepared at Glendale High School. 

A.B., Prmceton 1906. Member of Princeton Alumni Association of 

Cincinnati. Attended first reunion. 
Married Alice Humphreys Bruce, April 22, 191 1, at Houston, Tex. 

Alice Humphreys Brown, born May 30, 1912, at Glendale, O. 

"Do you believe in woman suffrage? No ! I'm a married man !" Thus do 
they quibble! And you, Bruce, calling yourself a "Radical"! For such in- 
consistency, we pass over your political beliefs hastily, spending only time 
enough to note you as a follower of Woodrow Wilson and in favor of all 
the new styles including the recall of judges. We note you have been little 
active in politics. 

But politics with Bruce are a side issue. Music and literature are his 
hobbies. He has read much since college, in fiction and in social work, with 
some reading in economics. He does little in sports or active exercise. As 
a traveler, he has gone widely over the Continent as well as this country, 
and is especially interested in Italy "because of its art, its people and its 
unusual places." 



He is actively interested in the field of foreign Y, M. C. A. work as 
represented in the Foreign Work Committee of his city Association. The 
Boy Scouts' organization also receives a goodly share of Bruce's attention. 

He writes : "A year after graduation I went south and lived on a planta- 
tion in Louisiana for a while. Then went to New Orleans where I worked 
on the New Orleans Times-Democrat ior eight months returning to Cin- 
cinnati and entering the advertising business." Before going south, he had 
worked for a year on The Cincinnati Post. 

Here is a letter from Bruce announcing the birth of his daughter: 
"Dear Friends of 1906: 

"I should like to be with you at this our sixth reunion (by the way it isn't 
every class than can have a sixth reunion) but there are two reasons for 
my not being there, a Big Reason and a Little Reason. The 'Little Reason' 
just arrived last Thursday night — a fine little girl! I am sure it was a 
locomotive for Princeton and '06 she gave that night when she first opened 
her eyes in this world. At least her nursery, — having once been my cherished 
Princeton den — sheds forth an orange and black radiance upon her and the 
faces of my '06 friends look down benignantly from the walls. In such an 
atmosphere, she should certainly grow up to be a daughter of Princeton. 
I am counting on being there for our septennial with my wife and little 
Alice. My very best wishes to all and may happiness and success ever 
attend you. Affectionately, 

Bruce W. Brown." 

G. GILBERT BROWN 

(a c) 270 Passaic Street, Newark, N. J. 
(b) Short Hills, N. J. 

Assistant Secretary. George Brown & Co., exterior and interior 
stone, marble and granite. 

Born August 8, 1884. Son of Gilbert C. Brown and Agnes H. Brown. Pre- 
pared at Newark Academy. Left Princeton June 1905. Member of 
the Princeton Club of Newark. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Has 
attended first and third reunions. 

Gilbert thinks that his choice of work was the result of preference plus 
circumstances, or vice versa, whichever we like. And we won't be captious, 
because he says he likes it and expects to stay in it ad infin. G. G. B. on 
politics aims a series of the double-loaded kicks of the cynic at the new stunts 
in political faith. He appears to have seen too much of this modern "pruri- 
ence for progressivism." He favors "unrestricted combination and operation 
of corporations" ; is against government supervision to any extent whatever ; 
comes out strongly for a protective tariff, won't listen for a minute to the 
siren voices of the "I. R. & R."; and rejects with fine scorn the idea that 
women should vote. And no man under the wide canopy of Heaven would 
suit him for President unless he could be shown to be "deaf, dumb and 

34 



blind, and with writer's cramp". We are afraid Gilbert has been devoting 
too much time to the Bull Moose platform, or maybe they have got his 
name on various political mailing lists and he is swamped with canjpaign 
literature. Brace up. Brownie, before you get this book, you'll have a chance 
to slap somebody on the back and tell him how glad you are that your old 
time chum and College President has saved the country for four more years. 
Gilbert's wrath was so great over the political situation that he skipped the 
next two pages and didn't give us any more answers until it came to travel. 
Then he recited several pages right out of Cook's latest European stunts. 
He ignored time and eliminated space. From Canada to Mexico, from 
England to Austria; from Hungary to Holland, it was all one to him, and 
what he doesn't know now about their marble quarries, you needn't expect 
to find outside of the Encyclopedia Britannica. 

"Studying architects" has occupied his special intellectual endeavors. 

His suggestion about reunions is that "sleeping accommodations should 
be engaged for those who are going to attend", a worthy thought.

Was attending the Packard Business School in the spring of 1912. 

Members of the Class will regret to learn that Edmund Brown has 
suffered a physical and mental breakdown since college. He writes that he has 
recovered from this and we trust that he is now in splendid shape. 

He has taken up the study of music as a special interest. 

HORACE BROWN

Weekly. Has attended first, third and fifth reunions. 

Horace, why is the tender query "Wife's maiden name; date and place 
of marriage" still a dismal blank on your circular? It grieves u^ to have 
nothing here to record for you in this, for one who promised so well in 
the fussing days of 1902-1906. Are you not too busy manufacturing "Dia- 
cramp" ? 

And is it therefore that you take to politics? We set you down with 

35 



alacrity as a Democrat, supporter of Woodrow Wilson for the presidency, 
and as a getter-out of Wilson votes on primary day in Maryland. 

Yes, of course, you believe in woman suffrage. You disfavor the recall 
of judges, but as for the rest of the new gospel of popular rule, all well and 
good for you. 

Any may you ever continue to play golf, tennis and baseball. 

Good luck ! 

FRED S. BROWNLEE 

(ab) Patterson, California 
(c) Patterson, Cal., or Fifteenth and P'arnum Streets, Omaha, 
Neb. 

Real Estate Salesman. With Payne Investment Co. of Omaha, Neb. 

Born September 28, 1882. Son of H. H. Brownlee of Prosperity, Pa., and 
Florence Smith Brownlee of Lisbon, Ohio. Prepared at Chamberlain 
Hunt Academy, Port Gibson, Miss. Entered Princeton, September 
1903; left February 1905. 

•Married Edna P. Emery, September 28, 1910, at Holly, Colorado. 
Robert Emery Brownlee, born Sept. 16, 191 1, at Holly, Col. 

"Finest boy in the country, this boy, Robert," says Fred. You bet he is, 
Fred. 

Why shouldn't he be? We'll say the same to any fond father in the 
Qass, because we're just ordinary bachelors and have the inalienable right 
therefore of commenting thus on each and every bouncing boy and lithesome 
lassie that belongs to the Class, and we can go as far as each individual 
parent wants us to. 

Circumstance had a good deal to do with picking out Fred's work, but 
he thinks that it suits him exactly. A regular voter, he believes in govern- 
ment supervision of corporations and in the progressive principles of govern- 
ment, adding like a pile of others in the Class, that although he is a 
Republican in principle, Woodrow Wilson is the man for president. 

Special interest! You're darn right. "My wife and baby." 

He has not found time to indulge to any extent in much activity outside 
cf his business. 

Fred writes: "Have always been too far away and too busy to attend 
reunions tho' I think them a good thing." 

Then he adds this reminiscence : "Only recall seeing one member of 1906 
since leaving the bunch. It was about six months after leaving college. That 
was 'Cap' Warren Whitney whom I ran across in Omaha, Neb., one day. 
We had a good old visit and I realized after I left him what I missed by 
being so far away from the bunch." 

(Editor's note — Cap is the original traveler with the seven leagued boots. 
He has gladdened the eye of many a class mate in the far off places of 
Uncle Sam's domain.)

Well, Fred, we are delighted to get this word from you. Make a note 
that there's a very good reunion coming for the Seventh and indeed a 
scrumptous one at the Tenth. If you can't make reunions, drop us a line 
two or three times a year, so that we can know you're with us still. 

WALTER BRUNSWICK 

(a) P. O. Box 13, Atlantic Highlands, N. J. 

(b) 164 West 74th Street, New York City 

(c) 143 Liberty St., New York City 

Civil Engineer. 

Born August 28, 1883. Prepared at Irving School, West 84th Street, New 
York City. C.E., Princeton 1906. 

Walter chose civil engineering but seems to be inclining very rapidly 
toward export trade to South America. He has made a special study of 
South American trade conditions and is especially interested in the Argentine 
Republic, Brazil and Chile, because of his business. His reading has been 
along geographical and South American trade lines as well as economics 
and fiction. 

A "Middler" politically, he favors Woodrow Wilson, declaring that he 
is a Democrat or a Republican, depending upon the nominee. He favors 
woman suffrage, the initiative, referendum and lecall, and government super- 
vision of business, first, for the regulation of prices, and second, for the 
regulation of the financial affairs of all corporations whose securities are 
offered for public investment; third, for the regulation of output, and fourth, 
to prevent monopoly. 

Walter caught typhoid fever from too much swimming in Brokaw 
Tank. He writes : "Have felt very bad effects. Was laid up one year with 
typhoid fever caused by swimming!" He is a member of the 7th Regiment 
in New York and gets in as additional exercise a bit of horseback riding. 

An interesting feature of Walter's record is the following note. He 
writes : "At an informal meeting where Princeton, Swarthmore, Pennsyl- 
vania, and Columbia were represented, the majority agreed that R. T. Crane 
of Chicago was pretty correct in most of his criticism of the American 
colleges."

Granny, you've left us to guess why it is that you don't have any hobbies, 
don't join regiments and athletic teams, don't spend your time galloping 
through libraries and searching for intellectual light. So we do guess. We 
guess you're pretty much interested in those two small daughters of yours. 
In fact, we have you on record as having said so more than once. 

All right, you're excused for not answering the whole half of that 
formidable circular. 

We record your views on statesmanship, — that as a Republican you don't 
believe in all things Republican, as for instance your belief in a tariff for 
revenue, not too high to prevent healthy competition. And you, with two 
daughters, agin' woman suffrage ! You are for an expert commission to 
control corporations and back in 191 1 you were undecided about whom you 
wanted for president. 

We like your telling message on reunions. "Meals" sounds good under 
things to be considered. The powers that be are apprised of your message. 
But in return for meals we demand song. So burnish up "Mr. Indian" and 
brush up "The Marcel Wave" and don't ever let the Thespian talents of the 
class, that you so uniquely control, ever fall into dotage or old age. The old 
flag must never touch the ground. So Granny, expect to attend every 
reunion and every class dinner and develop the talents of the Class. You've 
done handsomely so far. We suppose you don't give a hat for the footlights 
and the boards any more, but think of us.

The splendid success that Ethan has already attained in medical work 
is the most conspicuous thing in a post-graduation career full of activity 
One of the prizes in the medical world he won in his appointment in 191 1 as 
an interne in the famous Mayo Clinic. 

His year's work as an interne ended in June 1912. As a result of this 
work, he is now back at Rochester after the month of July spent in vacation 
here, filling the enviable appointment of first assistant to Dr. E. H. Beckman, 
who is one of the four attending surgeons of this famous clinic. He expects 
to stay in the clinic for an indefinite period. 

Ethan has made good with conspicuous success in medicine. 

He writes this little outline of his life since 1906 : 

"So far life has been uneventful. Four years spent in medical school. 
Three summers spent in medical work in Newfoundland and the Labrador. 
One year spent as interne in the Mayo clinic, with, best of all, the assurance 
of Dr. W. J. Mayo that a very desirable position is open to me at the end 
of this 'interne' year. Life is running along in the same old paths with 
plenty to do and a sense of honorable fatigue at 10 p. m., when all hands 
religiously go to bed." 

Well, Ethan, if your life has been "uneventful" it has certainly moved 
along with a zest and a lot of interest for the rest of us in the watching. 
Here's why: 

First, we switch from medicine to sailing, just to show the two strains 
that predominate in the Doctor's make-up, which brought together, may 
indicate to some degree what he aims to do in the future. 

"Water sports in general — fishing" are the special interests of Ethan 
Butler outside his profession. This accounts for those three summers up 
along the coast of The Labrador with that dare-devil. Dr. Grenfell. It also 
accounts in part for the calmly quiet way with which Ethan to the immense 
surprise of everybody about, with an uncontrollable yearning for Class fellow- 
ship, bobbed up at the Chowder Party and Summer Picnic at Larchmont last 
August (19.12) all the way from Minnesota. Skipper Etherington, who sailed 
the Class of 1906 all over Long Island Sound that day, and Skipper Butler, 
just wrapped themselves in each other's arms and wept for the mutual joy 
they shared in their love for the briny deep and the sail that bowls over 
the billows, tra la. 

This work along The Labrador and Newfoundland coasts, this Grenfell 
combination of sea and medical work, is exactly what carries the appeal to 
the two strongest desires in Ethan's make-up. Therefore, it will not sur- 
prise any of his friends to see him, after he has finally put all the finishing 
touches on developing his skill as a surgeon under the Mayos, go in for 
this nature of medical work for good and all. We have visions of him fitting 
but a snug and seaworthy craft as a modern hospital ship, thoroughly com- 
plete, — none of your flimsy ornamental boats, but a stanch sailor fit to fight 
the wintriest sea of the North country oceans. In this he'll sail about the 
seas, cutting open and sewing up the sick aboard the fishing fleets, doing all 
manner of good and enjoying himself to the topmost, a-snorting through the 

39 



icy mists like the doughtiest sea dog an4 laughing his way a-leading the ice- 
bergs a merry chase. 

Keep your eye on him ! 

Go back to the young Ethan of the innocent age of twelve. It was then 
he chose to be a doctor and he writes in this connection "A liberal father 
made a thorough education possible." Naturally he's going to be a doctor 
all his life. He got his M.D. at Johns Hopkins in 1910 and he has specialized 
in surgery. Aside from his profession, his intellectual work has consisted of 
occasional lectures on the work of the Labrador Medical Mission, and he 
has done a moderate amount of reading in fiction. His chief interest along 
religious and philanthropic lines is in Dr. Grenfell's medical mission work in 
The Labrador. While at medical school, he was for three years a voluntary 
worker in the Baltimore Charity Organization Society. 

His travel has been extensive. The Labrador has figured largely. He is 
of course intimately interested in Newfoundland, because as he writes, *1 
have worked three summers there in intimate contact with the people and 
have held two or three fairly responsible positions." His other travels have 
been in twenty-nine states, in Alaska, England, the Continent and Morocco. 

"Exercise is hard to obtain in the early years of medicine," he writes 
of athletics. 

Though a Republican, he is for Woodrow Wilson, believes in a tariff 
for revenue, government supervision of corporations and the initiative, ref- 
erendum and recall, but not yet in woman suffrage. 

He is the most active man in the class in collecting news of the rest of 
the Class and forwarding such to the Class secretary for spreading the glad 
tidings in the Alumni Weekly.

He traces the good effects to "general outdoor exercise." Since college. By

of Nat Poe, Stuart McKaig, Ray Brooke and By, back in 1909, when the 
only gold they found was a gold ring that brought five dollars and the first 
square meal, has gone out of business, for By says little of prospecting now. 

His special interest outside of business is "Literature", and he has done 
a lot of reading since college, chiefly in fiction and in mining subjects. He 

40 



has done regular study since college in languages, engineering and literature, 
and in his profession, he has specialized in assaying and surveying. 

By is closely interested in Canada, because cf financial and mining inter- 
ests there. 



EDWIN ELLIOTT CALVERLEY 

(a) Roxborough Avenue and Peclim Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 
(b c) Kuweit, Persian Gulf via Bombay 

Missionary of The Arabian Mission of the Board of Foreign Mis- 
sions, Reformed Church of America. 

Born October 26, 1882. Son of Benjamin Franklin Calverley of Philadelphia 
and Ida Reeves Calverley of Mauricetown, N. J. Prepared at Central 
High School, Philadelphia. A.B., Princeton 1906; A.M., in philosophy, 
, Princeton 1908. Graduated from the Princeton Theological Seminary 
in 1909. Attended the first and third reunions. Member of the 
Princeton Club of Kuweit. 

Married Eleanor Jane Taylor, M.D., September 16, 1909, at York, Pa. 
Grace Taylor Calverley born July 3, 1912, at Mussooree, India. 

There is the air of the East and much of the romance and mysticism of 
the call of the Orient suggested in the letters from Cap Calverley. He and 
his wife and little baby are living among the Arabs and the Turks of Arabia 
on the Persian Gulf. He wrote recently: 

"We are located for the year here in Kuweit, with Dr. Harrison (Johns 
Hopkins) in charge of men's medical work, Mrs. Calverley doing women's 
medical work and myself looking after the evangelistic and educational 
interests. With the British consul, we are the only Western people in this 
Arab town of 70,000 Moslems. Mrs. Calverley conducts a growing medical 
work here for the women who have never before received Christian medical 
attention. She is the second western woman io live in the place and the 
first to do missionary work for women. Our medical and educational work 
is w^elcomed but not the evangelistic." 

From Mussooree, India, July 9, 1912, he wrote announcing the birth of his 
daughter and adding: 

"We are spending our vacation here in a house conducted by the sister 
of our old teacher. Professor Wyckoff. There are lots of Princeton men 
here. We are all glad to learn by the cablegrams that Woodrow was nomin- 
ated at Baltimore and wish him still more success." 

Of how he came to be a missionary, Cap writes this: 

"I chose my work, or better — was chosen by the Lord for it." 

His purpose in living in Arabia and Turkey, he thus describes : "Living 
among the Arabs and Turks for their regeneration." 

This programme of the work and study of the missionary may suggest 
something of the varied resourceful life he leads. Among his duties are 

41 



preaching, teaching, and superintending the Bible shop. He has learned to 
read, write and speak in Arabic. His special study has been Christian Mis- 
sions, also Mohammedanism. He has delivered numerous lectures on these 
subjects. He has done much reading along lines of theology, language study 
and the Moslem controversy. And he doesn't forget exercise, as he plays 
"occasional tennis". 

As against four states visited here, Cap shows the widely traveled 
character of the missionary in a list of foreign lands he has gone through, 
including England and the Continent, Egypt, India, Arabia, and Turkey-in- 
Asia. 

He writes : "I expect to be home in 1916 and attend the reunion" and 
adds that the best way we can improve is "by having the decennial reunioners 
garbed as Arabs from Arabia." 

Even the Arabs appear to be getting no rest politically nowadays. Here's 
Cap out there breathing the doctrines of a '"Radical". A poor old Arab 
with a few extra wives gets no comfort from Cap, for Cap likely as not fires 
at him woman suffrage, which he advocates together with the new doctrines 
of "the rule of the peepul". And the Arab vote for Woodrow Wilson this 
fall will be the heaviest yet cast. 

. Hurray for the Princeton Club of Kuweit ! 



SAMUEL CAROTHERS 

(ab) 146 South Fairmount Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. 
(c) 421 Wood Street, Pittsburgh, Pa. 

Broker. With James Carothers & Co. 

Born, November 9, 1883. Son of James Carothers and Laura Allen Carothers. 
Prepared at Shady Side Academy, Pittsburgh. B.S., Princeton 1906. 
Member of the Princeton Club of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsyl- 
vania. Attended first reunion. 

Circumstance ordered his present work but he will stick with it. 

Sam is another Republican who is out for Woodrow. He believes in 
absolute supervision of corporations, a tariff for revenue only, woman suf- 
frage and Woodrow Wilson. 

Fiction and economics have comprised his general reading. 

"I take regular exercise," he writes, "and have felt good effects from 
college athletics. I tried nearly everything." 

Sam has no hobbies. 

"I am a very commonplace person," he insists on writing. 

Come off, Sam. You're crazy with the heat. You'll be put in the Ananias 
Club if you say it again. 

In the Presbyterian Church, Sam ushers.

ROBERT EDGAR CASKEY 

(ab) 2029a Blendon Place, St. Louis, Mo. 
(c) 1 401 Wright Building, St. Louis 

Demonstrator of high explosives. Representative in Technical 
Division, the E. L duPont de Nemours Powder Co. 

Born June 22, 1884. Son of Matthew George Caskey and Mary Elizabeth 
Caskey, both of Philadelphia. Prepared ai Central High School, Phila- 
delphia. A.B., Princeton 1906. 

Married Myrtle Virginia Papin, July 2, 1910, at St. Louis, Mo. 
Virginia Papin Caskey born July 30, 191 1. 

"Am hum-drumming along," writes Pat. "Since July 1910 have really 
known what a home was. Am very busy looking after a wife and baby." 

And these — wife and baby — are his hobbies. 

He is travelling constantly in his work, having been in 30 states, he writes, 
and that is why he does not vote regularly. But what do we care about your 
voting, Pat? What interests us in your travels is the fact that this everlasting 
'demonstrating' of yours around the country has kept you away from us and 
the reunions ever since the first one. Now that the Powder Trust is all 
virtuously split up, can't you persuade them to arrange your travel schedule 
decently next" year? 'Demonstrate' yourself, you sly rogue, into the Seventh 
Reunion tent, bright and fair on the opening morning, a-hopping into Prince- 
ton town to set off for your devoted brethren of the fold, a few "High Explo- 
sives". Therefore, as you say, the "bigger the better" for the Seventh. 

Pat says of getting back to unlimited competitive business, "You cannot 
unscramble eggs", in spite of the fact that the Powder Trust has been pro- 
fessing itself partly unscrambled for some time. He is for Woodrow Wilson. 
He believes the government should supervise corporations to prevent abuses, 
favors the initiative, referendum and recall, but is against woman suffrage. 

He is interested in the Methodist Church, where he does some active 
work, and in the Men and Religion Forward Movement. 

We'd like to have one of your old time letters to publish here, Pat. 
But if you'll promise to be on hand for the Seventh with a few stories, and 
your smile and that Class spirit of yours that reunion chairmen know about, 
even when you don't attend, we'll try to be patient. 

STUART ROBINSON CECIL 

(ab) 521 Belgravia Court, Louisville, Ky. 
(c) Booker-Cecil Company, Clay and Fulton Streets, Louisville, 
Ky. 

Lumber Dealer. Partner in Booker-Cecil Co., wholesale lumber 

dealers. 
Born November 20, 1884. Son of John G. Cecil and Lizzie Robinson Cecil 

43 



of Baltimore, Md. Prepared at the Louisville Male High School. A.B., 
Princeton 1906. Member of Princeton Alumni Association of Ken- 
tucky. Attended second year reunion. 
Married Lucille Drummond, December 28, 1908, at Louisville, Ky. 

After a thorough training in the lumber business in Louisville in which 
he has been during most of his post-college career. Bud started out for 
himself soon after the beginning of this year (1912) in a partnership, the 
Booker-Cecil Company, in the wholesale lumber business. Manufacturing 
and producing is the general line of work that he has picked out for himself 
and it fits his ability best. He has become an expert in the study of 
woods and in the handling of the lumber business and the Louisville con- 
tingent in Princeton of our time look for big things to come from the new 
company. 

Lumber has taken more of Bud's time than have politics, but he's a 
regular voter and a good Democrat, out for a tariff for revenue only, the 
initiative, referendum and recall of officers and judges, against woman 
suffrage and for Woodrow Wilson for the presidency. 

General athletics are the Cecil hobbie and he gets into them "whenever 
I can find time". 

' Buddie, we've got to see more of you round Princeton town at reunion 
times, now that you're the boss of a company and can do what you like. 
How about it? 

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN CHAMBERLAIN 

(ab) Chester, New York. 
(c) 33 Wall Street, New York City 

Bond Salesman. Representing Millett, Roe & Hagen in the southern 
part of New York State. 

Born May 2, 1882. Son of Roswell W. Chamberlain of New York City and 
Emily Durland Chamberlain of Chester, N. Y. Prepared at St. Paul's, 
Garden City, L. L A.B., Princeton 1906. Subscribes to Alumni 
Weekly. Has attended all reunions. 

Ben is a regular attendant at reunions and follows the affairs of the 
University closely. His work was chiefly a matter of arrangement of circum- 
stances. He intends to make it a life job "provided the political functionaries 
ever desist pounding business and the Labor Trust is dissolved". 

Enrolled as a Republican, he has done some little political work in the 
way of canvassing votes for State Senator candidate. He beheves in a sane 
and honest Governmental supervision of corporations "if free from political 
climbers". He opposes the initiative, referendum and recall and woman 
suffrage. President Taft he regards as the best presidential timber "provided 
he and his party agree to a proper modification of the Sherman lav/" ; other- 
wise Wilson is his choice. 

44 



His reading has been general along daily economic and financial lines. 
He has had no time for any special study. 

Here's Ben, the true "fan" of the Class, giving us an expression of the 
faith that is in him. Hobby? We should say. It's this: 

"Following College Football and Baseball (Princeton standpoint) ; also 
Professional Baseball." 

Ben, you've saved the Class, We were afraid there wasn't going to be a 
"fan" in it. 

He writes of his athletics in school and college and the after effects : 
"Only good effects. General physical development, and continuation of a 
habit and desire for exercise created at prep, school." He traces much benefit 
to class baseball teams. 

He is a member of the Episcopal Church. He writes • "Absolutely 
nothing out of the ordinary to tell. Have been plugging along the same old 
road." 



NORMAN FLETCHER CHARLOCK 

(ab) 663 North Broad Street, Elizabeth, N. J. 
(c) 3 South WilHam Street, New York City 

Insurance. Outside man sohciting insurance with Billington, Hutch- 
inson & Co., insurance brokers. . 

Born March 22, 1884. Son of Palmer Harold Charlock of New York City 
and Margaret Rogers Chandler of Elizabeth. Prepared at Pingry 
School, Elizabeth. Entered Princeton 1902 and left September 1903. 
Member Princeton Club of Newark. Has attended all reunions, includ- 
ing dinners, except one. 

"Peace be unto thee, O PaL, thou happiest and most consistent of 
reunioners." In your own words, "Pax Vobiscum", or after the ancients and 
the prophets, merely "Pax" ! 

We would add, "Peace be unto thy seed", were it not that you carefully 
deny knowledge of any in your statement as to names of children, date and 
place of birth of each. "Impossible to answer (explained above)". And 
thus you explain, "I have not as yet, nor am I contemplating, matrimony" 
continuing in succinct phrase, "I haven't the remotest idea" — of wife's maiden 
name. You've saved the Class, Pat, you might forget reunions if you went 
in for matrimony. What would be a reunion without the blessing of the 
sacred seer? 

"Human Nature and Marine Insurance" are subjects of special study that 
it takes a life time to exhaust. That's Pat. He's pursuing both. 

He is a regular Republican and the work he does for the party is "to 
get people to go down to the polls to vote the straight Republican ticket." Is 
there any need to say who will get his vote for president? W. H. Taft. He 
believes in the restoration of unlimited competition in business and in govern- 

45 



ment supervision of corporations, is for the three doctrines and a high 
protective tariff. 

Pat idulges in a variety of polite outdoor sports, tennis, golf, bicycling, 
walking and squash. "Was not in athletics in college, but always feel good 
effects," he says. 

That patriarchal sanctity and spirit of holy blessing that is always so 
prominent in Pat's delightfully entertaining self, is now accounted for. As 
a member of the Episcopal Church, he has taught Sunday School. He is 
interested in boys' work and social work and also feels an interest in 
foreign missions, though not active. 

"My life has been quiet, uneventful and happy" writes Pat and he closes 
with the Epictetan benediction, 

"Vale !" 



WILLIAM BRIDGMAN CHURCHMAN, JR.* 

(b) Bryn Mawr, Pa. 

(c) Lee Tire and Rubber Company, Philadelphia 

Married Katherine Nicoll, November 14, 1907, at Babylon, L. I. She died 
April 19, 1909. 

He has leased his plantation in Porto Rico and is now associated with 
the rubber company in Philadelphia. 

ELMER LOUIS CLINE 

(ab) 28 West Nineteenth Street, Indianapolis, Ind. 
(c) Taggart Baking Company 

Sales and advertising manager for the Taggart Baking Co., whole- 
sale bakers. 

Born March 4, 1884. Prepared at Manual Training High School, Indianapolis. 
Litt.B., Princeton 1906. Member of Indiana Princeton Alumni Asso- 
ciation. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly. Attended fifth reunion. 

Married Caroline Emma Frenzel, October 12, 1910, at Indianapolis. 

El has apparenly been busy since graduation. He took two years 
of medicine, has read a good bit, devedoped a hobby of drawing and 
architecture, and vents his sporting proclivities by motoring. 

He shows the true middle western spirit in regard to business — does not 
favor unrestricted combination, but realizes ho^v impossible it is to restore 
unlimited competition. He believes in ferreting out illegitimate competition 
through supervision and evidently considers our industrial "infants" and our 
laborers sufficiently well nurtured to stand a tariff for revenue. He backs 
Woodrow, but has no desire to stand in line at the polls with women.

CHESTER MARTS CLOUD 

(a c) 84 William Street, New York City 
(b) 740 Riverside Drive, New York City 

Assistant Manager in New York of the casualty department of the 
Fidelity & Deposit Company of Maryland. 

Born April 4, 1884. Son of Josiah G. Cloud and Lucille W. Marts Cloud, both 
of Woodbury, N. J. Prepared at Princeton Prep. Entered Princeton 
in 1902 and left in June, 1905. Attended first reunion. 

Married May C. Worther, December 1909, at Baltimore. 

His work was definitely chosen and he intends to make it his life 
endeavor. A Republican, his political work has been confined to voting 
regularly; a "Conservative", Taft is his choice for President. But he 
believes in the new progressive political doctriaes of the day, including the 
recall of judges. He is opposed to woman suffrage. He has made a special 
study of insurance subjects, law and present labor conditions. He has 
traveled in this country and Mexico. 

He writes, "Something doing all the time, I live in New York." Outside 
of New York, in the year 1913, month of June, there will be something doing 
ia the borough of Princeton. Make your way down there, Ches, you'll do us 
good. 

GEORGE IRWIN COCHRAN* 

(b c) Care of E. J. Desmond, Browne, California 

He is engaged in contracting work. The Desmond firm is one of con- 
tractors, with offices in Los Angeles. Browne is a small town just outside 
of Los Angeles. George Cochran has been in this work, it is learned, 
approximately a year. He has not been heard from. 

PHILIP GILLETT COLE 

(a be) Helena, Montana 

Physician. Practicing in Helena, Mont. 

Born September 25, 1883. Son of Charles Knox Cole, M.D., of New York 
and Harriett Gillett Cole, of Illinois. Prepared at Phillips Andover 
Academy. Left Princeton 1905; M.D., Columbia University. Member 
of Princeton Club of New York Attended first and third reunions. 

Dr. Phil left us in New York last April (1912) to take up permanent 
residence and build up practice in Helena. He had taken his degree of 
M.D. at Columbia, had put in his hospital work ir: New York, finishing up as 
house surgeon of the Harlem Hospital, then went on his way last spring to 
the big West, where he is no stranger. 

Here is his autobiography: 

47 



"Studied medicine. Traveled through Europe. Did hospital work in 
New York City." 

Below is biography which he didn't write. Jt is so characteristic of his 
thorough spirit of good fellowship and squareness that here goes. 

Just before he left the Harlem Hospital for his work in Helena, the 
New York newspaper reporters, on the Harlem Hospital district who have 
to run all over Harlem in a night, chasing ambulances and murders, gave him 
a dinner and wished him Godspeed, as an earnest of the high appreciation 
they felt for him through his uniform courtesy and his helpful relations with 
them in the public work of the hospital. It isn't often that a young hospital 
doctor gets a testimonial of this kind, 

Phil's special work in his profession has been in gynecology. He has 
done much reading since graduation along scientific lines. 

He gets in some tennis. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church 
and is interested in social and other work of this kind. 

He is for Woodrow Wilson for the presidency. 

LOUIS HENRI CONDE

Born December 15, 1884. Prepared at Manual Training High School, Indian- 
apolis. Litt.B., Princeton 1906. Member of Princeton Club of Indian- 
apolis. Attended first reunion. 

Married Margaret Williams, December 3, 1910, at Indianapolis. 

They said we weren't a heavyweight class in athletics in college. If they 
had provided bowling alleys then and got up class matches as they do in 
these enlightened days, we would have put something over on them, with 
Lou Conde in the front. He is a member of no less than four bowling club 
teams in Indianapolis. 

Lou has done some study in mechanics. His general reading, of which 
he has done a considerable amount, has been along the lines of economics and 
sociology. 

He is a Roosevelt Republican, is against woman suffrage, however, but 
believes in the initiative, referendum and the recall. He has traveled in 
thirty-eight states and in Canada. 

PHILIP GRAHAM CONNELL*

HENRY J. CONNOLLY 

(ab) 944 Clay Avenue, Scran ton, Pa. 
(c) Pennsylvania Casualty Building, Scranton, Pa. 

Lawyer. Also assistant secretary of the Pennsylvania Casualty Co., 
in charge of the claim department. 

Born May 15, 1883. Son of D. W. Connolly of Cochecton, N. Y., and Alma 
C. Price of Pittston, Pa. Prepared at Scranton High School. A.B., 
Princeton 1906. Member of Alumni Association of North Eastern 
Pennsylvania. 

Married Marion Elizabeth Matthews, April 17, 1911, at Scranton, Pa. 

"I have studied law and found little time for much else," writes Harry 
in regard to intellectual work done outside the lines of his profession. 

He was a charter member of Company A, Engineer Battalion, of the 
Pennsylvania State Militia. Walking and skating in limited quantities afford 
him other exercise. He taught a class of boys in the Episcopal Sunday 
School for two years. 

In politics, he is a Republican but is for Woodrow Wilson in spite of 
that. He has done some political work, having assisted at the polling 
places around election times in various ways. Like most of the lawyers of 
the class he is against the recall of judges, though he believes in the initiative, 
referendum and recall of officers. 

MARSHALL COXE 

(ab) 1336 River Boulevard, St. Paul, Minn, 
(c) Twenty-ninth Avenue S. E., and Great Western Tracks, 
Minneapolis, Minn. 

Traffic Manager of the Archer-Daniels Linseed Co. 

Born August 26, 1884. Son of Robert E. Coxe of Montgomery, Ala., and 
Cornelia Dayton Marshall Coxe of Lockport, N. Y. Prepared at 
Central High School, St. Paul, Minn. A.B., Princeton 1906. Member 
of Princeton Alumni Association of the Northwest. Subscribes to the 
Alumni Weekly. Has attended all reunions. 

Marshall is one of the real Marathon reunioners of the class. If you 
don't believe it, ask him to show you how close he came at the Fifth Reunion 
to grabbing off that solid gold, silver lined, gem-studded cup bestowed upon 
sprightly travelers. He had eaten up about 4000 miles of space without 
stopping to catch his breath, therebj- beating out travelers from China, who 
refused to go back and were therefore disqualified. Marshall's profession of 
"traffic manager" must have stood him in good stead when he started back, 
for he was trying to catch a lot of things including trains the last night he 
was seen leaving the tent. But be that as it may, he comes out squarely and 

49 



says that his work in life has, thus far, been "dictated by circumstances", and 
he will probably not make it a final calling. 

Politically, he is a Republican, but has never done any active work for 
his party. And his other answers play havoc with his party's chances, for 
he believes in tariff for revenue only; "I. R. & R." for officers; rejects woman 
suffrage; and as for President he says, "Why ask? Woodrow Wilson." 

Commenting on reunions, Marshall says "I don't believe our last could 
be improved upon, unless it would be possible, without seeming inhospitable, 
to reduce the number of visitors lo the tent who have no connection with 
the class. I think Sunday evening of our last reunion, when the class was 
alone, was the best party '06 ever had." 

IRWIN DUNN COYLE 

(a) 35 Lake Street, Bridgeton, N. J. 
(b c) U. S. S. Panther, Care of Postmaster, New York City- 
Assistant Paymaster with rank of Ensign, United States Navy. 

Born April 26, 1884. Son of Leonidas E. Coyle of Washington, D. C, and 
Georgiana Dunn Coyle of Princeton, N. J. Prepared at Portland 
Academy (Oregon). A.B., Princeton, February 1907. Member of 
Princeton Club of New V'ork. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly. At- 
tended first and third reunions. 

Stump is one of our real true sailor men and the best part of it is, he's 
the sailor that handles the cash. When last sighted, he was rolling off to 
the land of Nippon to be stationed with the Fleet in the Orient for two 
years. I m^ 

"1 accepted a chance which I liked," writes Slump of how he got to be a 
sailor, and then goes on to tell of a little bit of pleasantry in the navy where 
the fleet opened fire on his ship mistaking it for the target ship, — just to 
show that days are not one dull drear waste of v^^ater, but a bit of fun crops 
up now and then in a life on the ocean wave. Thus reads the log : 

"Had the experience of being fired on by the fleet, being mistaken for an 
old battleship, which was the target. As the mistake was soon discovered and 
as the range was nine miles, we v/ere not hit." 

Here's another piece out of the log: 

"Ship had hole stove in her by collision at sea, but luckily above water 
line. Had decks cleared. Rooms filled with water by large sea in hard gale 
last January." 

All kinds of thrills have hit our sailor man. Here's another : 

"Had two coal bunkers on fire at sea, but put fire out before it got too 
serious." 

The log concludes : "Met Bill Rogers' brother at smoker on U. S. S. 
Florida the other night," and the final climax, when the ship put in port : 

"Saw Princeton beat Harvard." 

50 



Stump is a member of the ship baseball team and he gets some tennis 
now and again. Remember, Stump, the warning of Mullah Burton in the 
ballad of the "Marcel Wave": 

"When I was in Venice, I simply played tennis 
With all the Italian beaux," 
and beware those twinkling eyed little maidens of gay Yokohama out there 
on the Far Eastern station with the Fleet. 

He has done much reading since graduation in military and social sub- 
jects, economics and history. His special study in his profession has been 
the "Regulations for the government of the United States Navy." 

What's the use of talking the politics of a sailor. He doesn't get any 
chance at any. Stump's for Woodrow Wilson. Which is all. 

Greetings, Stump, and the best of the Orient to you. 

ALLEN CRAIG 

(a) 1822 "1" Street, Washington, D. C. 

(b) 1 104 Adams Street, Wilmington, Del. 

(c) Coleman du Pont Road, Inc., du Pont Building, Wilming- 

ton, Del. 

Engineer. On road surveys and construction in the Coleman du 
Pont Road, Inc. 

Born October 21, 1883. Son of Col. Robert Craig of Mauch Chunk, Pa., and 
Annie Boiling Mahon Craig. Prepared at St. Lukes, Wayne, Pa. Left 
Princeton, December 1905, after being out of college from March to 
June 1904. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly. Attended first and fifth 
reunions. 

Allen Craig writes : 

"The most interesting feature since leaving college has been the work I 

am now doing on the road which is being built through the state of Delaware 

by Gen. T. Coleman du Pont. Since my arrival upon the scene last June 

(tqii), I have been making surveys in different parts of the state and have 

thoroughly enjoyed the work." 

At the beginning of the last summer (1912) Allen was headed for a 
considerable vacation because of general ill health as the result of the hard 
work he had been doing. 

His engineering is his chosen profession and it's to be his life-job. In 
politics, he is a Woodrow Wilson man. 

His reading has not been in large amount and has been chiefly fiction. 
His special study has been a small amount along the general lines of his 
work. He has journeyed in thirteen states. 

Of the reunion, he writes ; "T do not see how our last reunion (fifth) 
could be improved upon." We're looking for you at the Seventh, Allen.

Married Celia H. McGuire, December 31, 1904, at Washington, D. C. 
Robert Goodwin Craig, Jr., born November 7, 1905. 

GEORGE HOFFMAN CRESSE 

(a b c) Middlebury College, Middlebury, Vermont 

Teaching. Head of the Department of Mathematics, with rank of 
assistant professor. 

Born December 21, 1871. Son of Lewis Cresse of Burleigh, N. J., and Mary- 
Ann Cresse of Goshen, N. J. Prepared at State Normal School, Tren- 
ton, N. J. A.B., Princeton 1906; A.M., Princeton 1907; A.M., Harvard 
1911. 

Professor George has not been to a reunion since 1907 ! Think of it ! He, 
the font of good advice, around whose paternal knee the youngsters of the 
class sat, even as at the feet of Gamaliel, — and now setting such an example ! 
Pop, you've got to be with us at the Seventh, come what may. The Class 
can't lend you to Middlebury this long without a few interruptions. But let's 
see what he has been doing meanwhile. 

First, he definitely chose his work and he intends to follow it. Who 
would question oherwise who remembers what avidity he selected Fine's 
Math, and fairly rollicked through Integral and Differential Calculus, while 
the rest of us were wallowing in a slough of despond, and how he fairly 
chortled with glee over what seemed to us the very pons assinorum of per- 
plexity. He and Roger Hinds, a grand pair of mathematicians, the despair 
of their slow-plodding classmates ! 

With regard to public questions. Pop is likewise mathematically precise. 
"Believe in unlimited competition? No. Unrestricted combination? No. 
Government supervision? Yes. To what extent? Fixing rates. Tariff? 
Revenue only. "I. R. & R."? No. Woman suffrage? It depends on the 
locality. (Unworthy of a mathematician, plain attempt to leave the field of 
certainty for that of the opportunist.) Choice for President? Wilson." 

To preserve the youthful vigor of his physical nature, "Pop" takes charge 
of a summer camp and instructs in swimming. Otherwise he doesn't go in 
much for athletics. He continues his interest in church work, and sings in 
the choir. His special interest is in the "LiberaHzing of Religious thought". 
Since graduation he has travelled through England, France, Italy and most 
of western Europe, but has found no country more attractive than America. 

"Date and place of marriage — not yet." This sounds prophetic. 

On the subject of reunions and their improvement. Pop thinks that paid 

52 



entertainers should be eliminated , and more time allowed for chats with the 
boys. He is inclined to think that drinking should be either entirely elimi- 
nated or greatly modified. 

An interesting thing that he writes of is this : "I find in New England 
generally a great respect paid to Princeton." And great respect is hereby 
paid to you, Pop, with a lot of credit to be added if you will turn up at the 
Seventh Reunion and give us a chance to shake your hand, renew old times, 
and review new. 

JAMES FREDERICK CROSS, JR. 

(ab) no Cooper Avenue, Upper Montclair, N. J. 
(c) Everybody's Magazine, Spring and Macdougal Streets, New 
York City. 

Advertising. With Everybody's Magazine. 

Born December ii, 1884. Son of James Fred Cross and Anna Mary Cross. 

Prepared at the East Orange High School. B.S., Princeton, 1906. 

Member of the Princeton Club of New York. Has attended all the 

reunions. 
Married Mary S. Moore, July 19, 1912, at Swiftwater, Pa. 

Before you knew it, it was all over. We mean getting married, Fred 
and Miss Moore. They always did things in their own original way anyhow, 
a delightful way at that. If you had been reading those original Class circu- 
lars about reunions and things that Fred was largely responsible for, you 
would have known perfectly well that any man with that amount of original 
genius would never have a wedding built along ordinary lines. Not for the 
Cross-Moore combination. 

Fred has one characteristic that sticks out plainly. He's deeply interested 
in the life of the rest of the world around him. He's very active in the 
work of a Boys' Club in Orange. They have made him secretary. He's 
much interested in the Men and Religion Forward Movement. He serves 
on the publicity committee of the Swedenborgian Church. In semi-political 
life, he has served as secretary of the New Jersey State Civic Federation and 
as secretary on a special committee in local civic work and county affairs. 

His choice for President is Theodore Roosevelt. He favors the Roosevelt 
plan of a commission to regulate corporations and insure publicity and fair 
methods. He stands for a reasonable protective tariff and for the initiative, 
referendum and with limitations, the recall, including judges if appointed. 
He advocates woman suffrage, with property and educational restrictions for 
both male and female. 

Fred is another of the Class who keeps things stirring in Class affairs. 
He lends cheerful and active services in all reunion plans and is a moving 
spirit in helping on the Class to keep in touch with itself. 

He is advertising representative for Everybody's and seems enough 

53 



interested in the publishing end of it to make it a life work. He studied law 
at night school for six months and has taken courses in advertising and its 
psychology. Scattered and general reading has filled in his spare moments. 

He exercises enough to keep in pretty good condition by playing tennis, a 
bit of wrestling at times and gym work. He hab felt good effects in general 
from his wrestling work in college.

Lawyer. 

GEORGE SMITH CUNNINGHAM 

(a) Blairsville, Pa. 
(b c) 1844 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. 

Physician, 

Born June 21, 1883, Son of T. D. Cunningham of Blairsville, Pa., and Helen 
Shipley Cunningham of Bangor, Me. Prepared at Kiskiminetas Springs 
School. A.B., Princeton 1906; M.D., University of Pennsylvania 1910. 
Member of the Princeton Club of Western Pennsylvania. Subscribes 
to the Alumni Weekly. Attended the first and third reunions. 

Doctor George Cunningham is a whole lot interested in China as a field 
for work. His interest is from the view point of the medical missionary. 
He has made a special study of foreign missions particularly those in China 
where he has a number of friends in Presbyterian mission work. It would 
not be a surprise to his friends here to see George packing up for China to 
get in the game of medical mission work one of these days. The Presbyterian 
Mission at Paotingfu, it is said, almost has a place fixed up for him. 

He writes : "Have been placed on the assistant surgical staff of the 
West Penn Hospital, Pittsburgh, department of gynecology. Did special 
work in obstetrics at the Lying-in Hospital, New York." 

It goes without saying that his is a profession that was definitely chosen. 

He plays tennis whenever possible. 

In politics, he is a rooter for Woodrow Wilson. He believes in "what- 
ever government supervision of corporations is necessary to check oppression 
of the laboring man." He is for the initiative, referendum and the recall, 
and against woman suffrage. 

WARREN WARDLAW CUNNINGHAM 

(ab) I West Eighty-first Street, New York City 
(c) 60 Wall Street, New York City 

54 



Lawyer. Managing Clerk for Stover & Hall, lawyers. 

Born October ii, 1885. Son of Charles Eugene Cunningham of Franklin, 
Tenn., and Annie Warren Cunningham of Memphis, Tenn. Prepared 
at Princeton Preparatory School. A.B., Princeton 1906; LL.B., New 
York Law School 1909. Member of Princeton Club of New York. 
Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Has attended the third and fifth 
reunions. 

Warren Cunningham says little but smiles much and gets at things hard. 
He doesn't talk shop but he's moving along solidly, after the method of the 
substantial citizen that he is. Run up to the Princeton Club once or twice a 
week and enjoy a conversation with a solid member of the 1906 Bar. 

He is a Democrat, of course a Woodrow Wilson man and has been so 
for a long time before the nomination. Signs of the New York lawyer 
crop out in his opposition to the three new doctrines and to woman suffrage. 
He is for government supervision but "only in so far as to make it necessary 
to compel honest dealing with the public, and competition." 

Fiction and some history have made up his reading. In sports, he 
"plays at tennis and a little golf." 

He says of church and kindred work that he takes no active part. Some 
who do, more or less, do not call on him in vain. 

He has traveled in more than half of the United States, in England, 
Scotland and the Low Countries. 



WILLARD WALKER CUTLER, JR. 

(a) Morristown, N. J. 
(be) Care of General Office, "C C C C", Cananea, Sonora, 
Mexico. 

Engineer. Assistant Geologist with the Cananea Consolidated 
Copper Co. 

Born December 3, 1884. Son of W. W. Cutler of Morristown, N. J., and M. 
B. Hinchman Cutler of Brooklyn, N. Y. Prepared at the Morristown 
High School. B.S., Princeton 1906; E.M., Columbia 1909. Attended 
third and fifth reunions. 

It was a long way from Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, to the fifth reunion, 
but there was Cut, reunioning as though it was the only thing he did, outside 
of shooting Mexican revolutionists and discovering copper out of dirt. 

All right, Cut, you are excused from the questions on political activity. 
You can't be expected to tell how big a gun you are in Mexican politics or 
how many revolutions you have inspired. The Legation might not like it if 
you told the inside of your political history. 

Cut was a T. Roosevelt follower when the Class census was taken. 
That was some time before the nominations, but it is highly likely that the 

55 



Bull Moose has invaded Cananea. He believes in woman suffrage under 
certain conditions and in the three modern-day doctrines. 

As for his athletics in college, Cut has felt "good effects from football in 
general good health". 

His special study is geology and he has done some reading in economics. 
He is intimately interested in Mexico and has traveled in 45 states of the 
United States and in Europe. 

CARL NORTHUP DAILEY 

(ab) 44 Lincoln Avenue, Detroit, Mich. 
(c) 1021-1023 Hammond Building, Detroit 

Insurance. Special agent of Fidelity & Casualty Co. of New York. 

Born January 25, 1883. Son of Charles W. Dailey of Bristol, Conn., and 
Elizabeth C. Dailey of Whitesboro, N. Y. Prepared at Detroit Central 
High School. A.B. Princeton, January 1907. Subscribes to the Alumni 
Weekly. Attended the third reunion. 

His work was definitely chosen but he does not intend to make it his life 
work. A Republican, he favors Woodrow Wilson for the presidency, believes 
in a high protective tariff and 'is opposed to the initiative, referendum and 
recall. He repudiates woman suffrage with a large-sized "NO !" 

Fiction and history have claimed his attention as a reader and as a 
sportsman he indulges in hunting and fishing. He is interested in mission 
work and is a member of the Presbyterian Church. He has visited ten 
states of the United States on business and pleasure. 

He writes: "In interurban street car wreck in October 191 1. Not injured 
but there was plenty of excitement." 

Pete, we want to see you at the Seventh. How about it? 

HENRY GREGG DANBY 

(ab) 1313 Delaware Avenue, Wilmington, Del. 
(c) King Street Wharf, Wilmington, Del. 

Manager and treasurer of the New Jersey & Wilmington Ferry Co., 
operating freight and passenger steamboat. 

Born June 16, 1883. Son of John H. Danby of Wilmington, Del., and 
Georgine G. Danby. Prepared at Princeton Prep. Entered Princeton 
1901 ; left 1903. Attended the first reunion. 

He writes that he is for Woodrow Wilson. 

We note that Danby is an extensive traveler, having done practically the 
whole of Europe and nine of the States. In the course of his journeys, we 
hope he will wander into Princeton for the large seventh reunion he speaks 
for.

Member of Princeton Club of Western Pennsylvania, Attended third 

and fifth reunions. 
Married Constance Alden, June 21, 1910, at New York. 

Henry Buckingham Darlington, Jr., born March 19, 191 1, at Pittsburgh. 

"Good luck and circumstance" steered Dolly into his work; he is per- 
fectly satisfied with it, and is going to hang right on to it, he says, to the 
end of his days, "if possible". Is not a member of any political party and has 
not voted regularly, because of absence due to business ; believes in unre- 
stricted combination and operation of corporations, the initiative, referendum 
and recall. Before the conventions, Judson Harmon was his choice for the 
presidency. 

Fiction makes up his reading and tennis and golf his sports. His family 
is his special interest. 

He thinks that the reunions are all right just as they are and says that 
lack of space prevents the telling of any interesting feature of his life since 
graduation. 

JAMES EVERETT DAVIS 

(ab) 326 North Hyde Park Avenue, Scranton, Pa. 

(c) 408-409 Connell Building, Scranton, Pa. 

Lawyer. 

Born May i, 1885. Son of Evan P. Davis of Glanmorganshire, Wales, and 
Mary Evans Davis of Minersville, Pa. Prepared at Scranton High 
School. A.B., Princeton 1906. Admitted to Supreme Court of Penn- 
sylvania, February 1908. Princeton Alumni Association of North- 
eastern Pennsylvania. 

What's this, Jimmie? This marriage business — "Not yet and NO 
CHANCE!" 

Perk up, m'lad. The world is not so hard and black as all that. The 
writer says with you "Not yet", might possibly add "never", but never say 
"no chance". Do you realize that you're a member of the Invincible Legion 
of 1906? Think of it, nearly 150 of the Faithful are already safely in the 
arms of wedlock ! Has any one of them essayed and been found wanting or 
failed? Not one, sir. Get down to the next reunion and talk it over with 
the hordes of the muchly married. Easiest thing they do, getting married. 

57 



Jimmie Davis is a Republican and a hot one too. He has been the 
attorney for the Lackawanna County Republican Campaign Committee for 
three years. He does stump speaking in the campaigns, votes regularly, has 
canvassed votes and helped the organization in "every way". 

But despite all this his choice for president when this census was taken 
was Woodrow Wilson. 

He has a lawyer's dislike for the three new doctrines, and for woman 
suffrage, stands for high protection and limited government supervision of 
corporations. He classes himself a "Conservative". 

Law was his chosen work. He was admitted to the Supreme Court of 
Pennsylvania in February 1908. He has no specialty in the law, but trys 
tc keep up generally. He has done much reading since graduation in history 
and economics. 

He writes : "Helped Harry Connolly get married." 

Jimmie holds the honorable position of secretary-treasurer of the Lacka- 
wanna Law and Library Association, the local bar association. This is his 
special interest outside his professional work. 

And here's a new, brand new name for a widespread chronic malady, — 

"Serious illness since leaving college — Strangulation of the pocketbook." 
. Jimmie how about tripping back to the Seventh Reunion? 

RAYMOND FOSTER DAVIS*

WALTER SEAMAN DAVISON 

(a) Hightstown, N. J. 
(be) 120 West Washington Avenue, Bath, N. Y. 

Minister. 

Born January 10, 1885. Son of Joseph Van Dorn Davison of Englishtown, 
N. J., and Louisa Henrietta Davison of New York City. Prepared at 
Peddie Institute. A.B., Princeton 1906. Graduated from Auburn 
Theological Seminary 1912. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly. Attended 
fifth reunion. 

"About the most interesting feature of my life since graduation was the 
fifth reunion." 

Davy, this is highly interesting testimony. There were others who felt 
the same way. There has probably been no one event since college, in fact 
hardly has there been in college itself, where fellows got to know and 
appreciate each other with such downright good brotherhood as at the fifth. 
We're glad that voice of yours was in shape the night you sailed out and 
entertained the Class with it. It was the spirit of getting into the game 

58 



and having an actual part in the reunion that made it a joy forever to all 
the bunch of us who got so much benefit from it. 

We've got an interesting set of answers here, ye men of the Class, so list 
ye ! 

Davy and Deane Edwards have been pretty close together at Auburn 
Theological Seminary. Deane goes to Scotland this fall (1912) on a fellow- 
ship. Davy, if we mistake not, starts out on his ministry. Davy taught for 
three years after college at the Syrian Protestant College at Beirut, Syria, 
Then to Auburn. He writes of his intellectual work that he had "three 
years of original research in Turkey" during his teaching. He lectures now 
and then on Turkey, Mohammedanism, the Holy Land. He has done much 
reading since Princeton days, in theology, sociology, church history, philoso- 
phy and comparative religion. 

At Auburn, he played on the soccer and baseball teams. He gets after 
tennis, skating, swimming and horseback riding, regularly in their seasons. 

In all matters connected with the Church, he is actively concerned. He 
emphasizes preaching and pastoral work. He is highly interested in all 
social and lay movements of an uplift character. He is especially interested 
in the Boy Scout movement. In foreign mission work, he is actively 
interested. 

Music, vocal, is his special interest outside his profession. We're waiting 
for another chance to hear you at a few songs, Davy. Get in shape ! 

He has expressed a presidential preference for President Taft. He 
ranks himself as a "Middler" in politics, believing in the three special 
doctrines named, in a tariff for revenue, and in government supervision of 
corporations to prevent complete monopoly. 

Woman suffrage he dodges, thus — "Yes, when all the women want it." 
Diplomats, these churchmen ! 

His work at Beirut gave him the advantage of foreign travel in seven 
countries of Europe, Turkey-in-Asia and Egypt. 

It's a well rounded life, Davy^ it seems to us, that your answers have 
sketched. 

JAMES DeTURCK 

(ab) Central Avenue, Hackensack, N. J. 
(c) 84 Main Street, Hackensack, N. J. 

Lawyer. In office of L. A. Campbell, Hackensack, N. J. 

Born February 5, 1884. Son of Isaac DeTurck and Olivia DeTurck, both of 
Reading, Pa. Prepared at Perkiomen Seminary. A.B., Princeton 1906; 
L.L.B., New York Law School 1910. Member of Princeton Alumni 
Association of Northern New Jersey. 

Jimmie DeTurck went into the law not altogether as a thing that was 
fore-ordained for him, but he intends to be in it for a life-time and feels 
that it is well-suited to him. 

59 



He is a Republican and the President will get his vote for a second 
term. He has done a good deal of reading in economics since graduation 
and his law study is general. He is active in athletics, retaining a liking for 
sport from the goodly taste he got of college football. He goes in for tennis, 
baseball and football. 

His travel has been in 22 states of the Union and in Canada, Mexico and 
Central America. 

CHARLES DeWITT DeVINNE 

(ab) 395 Lafayette Street, New York City 
(c) 300 West Seventy-sixth Street, New York City. 

Publishing. Secretary, The DeVinne Press. 

Born June 19, 1883. Son of Theodore B. DeVinne and Lillian DeVinne. Pre- 
pared at Holbrook's School, Ossining, N. Y. Left Princeton 1905. 
Member Princeton Club of New York. Attended third and fifth re- 
unions. 

Pat DeVinne left vacant the space for "hobby" in his circular. That 
might have been because he is a man of few words and rebels at type. But 
those who know him around New York and the Princeton Club can make a 
pretty shrewd guess as to what this special interest is, based on the quiet 
work Pat carries on for the Class. One of the biggest things in his interests 
and devotion they say, is the Class, its welfare. There is an amount of work 
that goes on quietly but efficiently, entirely beneath board, that nobody hears 
about and no one gives credit for. Much of it might be traced Pat-wards, 
if any one should ask you. This is just a quiet tip to keep under your hat, 
for as aforesaid, Pat hates print. 

Pat joined his father's force in the printing business and feels that unless 
something very unexpected intervenes he will make it his life-work. Seems 
to feel that as a man must work to live, printing is as well suited to him as 
any other necessary evil. He belongs to no political party and so far as his 
record shows does not care who is made next President. Pat is the only real 
philosopher in the class — would not try to restore unlimited business competi- 
tion; would not quite permit corporations to go on entirely unrestricted, and 
yet does not approve government supervision. As for women — ^they can vote 
so far as Pat is concerned providing they buy land. Pat is frank and flat- 
footed about his reading. "I have done none," he says. "I see so much type 
and 'stuff' that I am sick of it by the end of the day." 

His exercise shows great cooperative spirit for he has served for three 
years on the tent-raising team of the 7th Regiment. And so far as we 
have heard, he has attained the prestige of almost a major in their culinary 
department. Motoring is Pat's latest pastime and hobby. Most of his travel 
has been abroad in the British Isles, France, Switzerland, and in Cuba and 
Mexico. He is much interested in Cuba because he looks for big develop- 
ments there.

ROBERT EDWARD DOANE 

(a) 404 Hoffman Street, Elmira, N. Y. 

(b) Murray Avenue and Darlington Road, Pittsburgh, Pa. 

(c) Standard Underground Cable Co., Pittsburgh, Pa. 

Electrical Engineer. Sales Engineer in general sales department 
of Standard Underground Cable Company. 

Born February 3, 1884. Son of George Doane of Covington, Pa., and Joseph- 
ine M. Bullard Doane. Prepared at Elmira Free Academy. B.S., 
Princeton 1906; S.B., Massachusetts Institute of Technology 1909. At- 
tended first, second, fourth and fifth reunions. 

Bob, remember as you write "No Hope Yet !" about marriage, that as 
Hinman points out regarding matrimony and its allied subjects, "While 
there's life, there's hope." You speak of children, "Haven't any — honest !" 
Bob, now, you sly dog, this word "honest" (exclamation point), now really, 
you know, doesn't it, well er — Do you cross your heart? 

Here's a bit of hard luck of Bob's we all regret with him. He writes : 

"Went broke last year. My employer turned out a crook." Then he 
adds : "Good luck to all the boys. Money counts as does a square life." 

He writes that he hardly has time for outside interests nowadays, "busi- 
ness takes all my energy". He feels that his profession is peculiarly the 
thing he is cut out for. He has made a special study of "electrolysis of 
underground metallic structures". His reading has been "quite a little, — 
not a great deal of fiction, but history and social". 

"Canoeing and tennis, as much as business allows but none too much" 
are his athletic diversions, and he feels only good effects from his track 
and gym work in college. He is a member of the Baptist church. 

Bob is a Republican, a "Middler" and for President Taft. He advocates 
sll of the new ideas except the recall of judges, and woman suffrage "only 
if the women will use it." 

Best luck. Bob, for quickly and roundly recovering from the misfortune 
you tell of. 

RODERICK AITKEN DORMAN 

(a c) 873 Broadway, New York City. 
(b) 310 West Ninety-seventh Street, New York City 

With Aitken, Son & Co., wholesale and retail dry goods, as general 
merchandise clerk. 

Born December 13, 1884. Son of Richard A. Dorman and Mary A. Dorman. 
Prepared at Lawrenceville. B.A., Princeton 1906. Member of the 
Princeton Club of New York. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly. Has 
attended all reunions. 

Married Elizabeth Cebra Holden, June i, 1910, at Madison, N. J. 

61 



Although Rod's business has taken most of liis time since graduation, he 
has evidently read pretty generally along various lines. He has taken a 
course in advertising and one in business law. 

His chief recreations seem to be golf and tennis. He specifies "only 
during week-ends", from which we assume that his boss passed by as he 
v/rote. 

Rod is a member of the Broadway Tabernacle, of the Y. M. C. A. and 
has done a great deal of work in the Christadora House — an East Side Settle- 
ment House well known to Princeton men. He is actively interested in the 
Men and Religion Forward Movement as well as in Foreign Missions. His 
good work in the Philadelphian Society at college has been continued in 
virile fashion. * 

"Stamp collecting" is his hobby. We suppose that accounts for our 
being obliged to pay "postage due" on his record. 

Rod advocates unlimited competition for his line of business, believes in 
tariff for revenue only and although heretofore a Republican, favors 
Woodrow Wilson for next President. 

He admits that the most interesting thing since graduation has been 
capturing Ted Holden's sister. 



LEE DOUGLAS 

(ac) 1 1 34 Stahlman Building, Nashville, Tennessee 
(b) 132 Eighth Avenue, South, Nashville 

Lawyer. Member of the firm of Douglas, Norvell & Thurston. 

Born May 23, 1885. Son of Byrd Douglas of Fayetteville, Tenn., and Ade- 
laide Gaines Douglas of Nashville, Tenn. Prepared at University 
School, Nashville, Tenn. A.B., Princeton 1906; L.L.B., Vanderbilt. 
Member of Alumni Association of Tennessee. Subscribes to the 
Alumni Weekly. Has attended the third and fifth reunions. 

Lee was in the thick of the arrangements that made such a big success 
of the thirteenth annual meeting of the Western Association of Princeton 
Clubs held last spring in Nashville, when the Tennessee Association was 
host. He got after all the 1906 stalwarts that lived anywhere within a 
thousand miles or so of the territory of the Western Associations. There 
was no lack of good old-school Southern hospitality held out as a dancing 
bait to hard worked business and professional men to draw them away from 
their labors. As one of the divisional Class secretaries for the South, Lee is 
just as active in looking out for the news of the Class. 

Go into Nashville some day and say "Douglas". Immediately, you have 
the freedom of the city conferred on you and a coach and four at your door. 
Lee is a rising young member of his own law firm. Some one of the Class 
suddenly burst into his office one day for a visit. Lee was overjoyed. But 
the telephone bell rang just then. 

62 



"What! Whiz! Bang!" Lee catapaulted himself out of his chair, 
grabbed his hat, excused himself as he ran along shouting, "A murder. Client 
of mine just locked up. Shot a — " 

In a few minutes, he was back, calm and debonair as ever. 

"Fixed that up all right. Now, let's have a good old talk." 

That's the way our rising young lawyers in the South settle up the 
little events of a day's life. 

In addition to his law work at Vanderbilt where he got his degree, he 
did post-graduate work in law at the University of Chicago. He writes: "I 
have studied law at all angles on the theory that one must generalize first 
and specialize after. I have not done much reading in other lines except in 
law, which consumes time and leaves very little opportunity for other reading. 
Belonged to several literary clubs at Vanderbilt ?nd now am a member of the 
Coffee House Club at Nashville, which keeps alive interest in things intel- 
lectual." 

He is not active in athletics, writing, "Wish I had been more in athletics 
in college. I feel great benefit from the small amount of athletic work I 
did in Princeton in tennis." A siege of typhoid fever came upon him in 
the fall of 1910. 

He is a deacon in the Presbyterian Church. 

As for his intention to make law his life work, "Sure Do," is the answer. 
He is a Democrat and of course a strong rooter for Woodrow. He says 
be is a "Radical, certainly not a reactionary" and justifies this designation by 
referring to his belief in the new doctrines, eliminating with a lawyer's 
instinct, however, the recall of judges. He is for woman suffrage, "every- 
where except in the South," and refers to Woodrow Wilson for a definition 
of how the government should regulate corporations. 

In politics he has worked as an election officer. Against the tradition of 
the South would appear his remark that he does not go in heavily for politics 
as "Politics and law are not good brothers."

1906; three Masonic degrees, Franklin Lodge No. 10, N. J. Subscribes 
to the Alumni Weekly. Has attended all the reunions. 

This opening sentence of yours, Dago, has the romance of poetry in it : 
'■'Date and place of marriage — the Fates have no reached this knot in my 
thread of life." But why are you so haughty about "names of children?" 

"I refuse to answer" sounds as if advice of counsel were right at your 
elbow. 

Dago is more frank about his "special interest" outside of business. 
Answer — "Girls". (Note — Those who knew him in the old days will scarcely 
believe the blossoming of this modern Don Juan.) He has travelled in six 
states of this country, (Query — Looking after his special interests?) 

Both choice and circumstance dictated his present job and it looks like a 
life sentence. 

A progressive in politics, is well posted on current politics; believes in 
Woodrow Wilson, woman suffrage, government supervision of corporations 
but in neither a protective tariff nor a tariff for revenue only. 

Fiction, history, economics and the daily sports have comprised his 
reading. He has engaged in sports only as a "rooter". He is a member of 
the Men's Club of his church.

Born July 2, 1884. Son of Joseph Durham of Watsontown, Pa., and N. R. 
Stranahan Durham of Warren, Pa. Prepared at Bordentown Military 
Institute. A.B., Princeton 1906. Belongs to the Princeton Club of 
New York. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Has attended first, 
third and fifth reunions. 

One of our best "little reunioners" ! Notice attendance at reunions, 
marked above, to say nothing of that Grand and Glorious Midsummer Gymk- 
hana at Larchmont last summer (1912) where he and Harry Ambrose 
divided the honors of the golf course and then fell exhausted into the arms 
of their caddies. (They have erected a stone over the spot where Fred's 
caddy stood.) 

Unlike his elder brother, Fred did not choose his work, it was "dictated 
by circumstances". As to the duration of his employment, his reply is non- 
commital, but naive. "As far as I know now, I shall remain in it." No 
board of directors could take umbrage at that. And they could not fail to 
be pleased with his political attitude. Here agam we find a stalwart son of 

64 



the G. O. P. Just listen to his credo: "I believe in government supervision 
of corporations to the extent of establishing prices on commodities which 
would limit ruinous competition." Could you bring that within the Sherman 
Act? And of course he needs a high tariff to protect his vises, (the spelling 
is correct) but he refuses to say whom he thinks ought to be given the job 
of handling the reins of government in Washington for the next four years. 
His special studies have been along the lines of his business and have included 
"advertising, exporting, circularizing and cataloging" ; but he has had time 
to keep up his golf, and has done some fishing and hunting. So we find him 
still his big, breezy, healthy self and are ready for his reunion suggestion 
that we have "more music and entertainment; get a good band and Ed 
Brown's quartet; the best place and no out of the way place; and let's have 
a LARGE seventh year reunion." You're on, Fred; for we know you'll 
do your share to be a large part of its success. 

JOSEPH EDWARD DURHAM, JR. 

(a c) Bonney Vise and Tool Works, AUentown, Pa. 
(b) Y. M. C. A. Building, AUentown, Pa. 

Vice-president and secretary of the Bonney Vise and Tool Company. 

Born August 2Z, 1882. Son of J. S. Durham, of Watsontown, Pa., and N. R. 
Stranahan Durham of Warren, Pa. Prepared at Bordentown Military 
Institute. A.B., Princeton 1906. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly. At- 
tended first and fifth reunions. 

"Hello Bill" is what we've got to say now when we meet Ned, for he 
belongs to "Lodge 130 B. P. O. E.", to say nothing of "Lodge 661, F. & A. 
M.", the Livingston Club, etc., etc. But these social diversions have appar- 
ently taken only the sparest moments, for having "definitely chosen" his work, 
he has made a "systematic study of steel, its treatment and manufacture ; also 
current publications on steel, iron and metal manufactures." Then too he 
gives a little time to sports at the Lehigh Country Club and the Y. M. C. A. 
gymnasium. 

Of course we all know that the Durhams have always been rock-ribbed 
Republicans. We are not surprised therefore that Ned will stand for only a 
"limited supervision of corporations", insists upon a high protective tariff; 
and is against the ladies at the polls. We take it that his vote for Woodrow 
is Princeton spirit, pure and undefiled. Ned is another globe trotter, and 
from his record it appears that he has been in "Nearly all European coun- 
tries, except Ireland and Spain." But now he's back home, and we're glad 
of it, for listen to this invitation, "My brother and I like a rather quiet 
life, but will be most happy to have any of our class visit us at our home in 
Germantown or in AUentown, should they happen to be in either place." 
We're coming Ned. Look out for a disturbance of that quiet, though. Can't 
guarantee quiet at any reunion.

WILLIAM DYKEMAN 

(ab) 1242 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. 
(c) Grand Central Terminal, New York City 
Chief Clerk, purchasing department New York Central & Hudson 
R. R. R. Co. 

Born October 10, 1882. Son of C. V. Dykeman and Jessie Sullivan Dyke- 
man, both of Brooklyn. Prepared at Boys' High School, Brooklyn. 
Left Princeton 1903. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended 
first, third and fifth reunions. 

Married Elsie D. Wilson, March 16, 1910, at Brooklyn, N. Y. 

It was a lively year that year in the camp of the Philistines in University 
Hall, Bill, Mrhen you and a few other shuddering members of the Chosen 
Class were at the tender mercies of Ed Trent and several other gentle 
spirits of the Enemy. You remember some on the list of the Immortals that 
boldly spent their year of martyrdom in that University Hall infested nest of 
horsing Sophomores — Sam Reid, Amos Hoagland, Ducky Swan, Cole Price, 
Ethan Butler, Bill Walsh, Lou Froelick, Bill Motter? You all came through 
the fire, gaunt and worn and bearing the marks of holy sujffering, but capable 
of enduring anything thereafter. 

And now you are purchasing railroads or the stuff that makes a railroad ! 
You like it well. We set you down as a Bull Mooser, though perhaps you 
are not, as your choice of "Teddy" for president was made as a Republican 
back before the tea party in Chicago last June. You are against everything in 
the line of woman suffrage, the initiative and rest, but when it comes to 
corporations, you appear to want everything that's ever been suggested to be 
worked put on them. 

His reading has been "a little of each" of the lines suggested. His 
hobby is photography and he has traveled in all the states except Montana 
and Wyoming, and has been in Canada and Mexico. 

He believes in boys' work, social work and the Hke, but of foreign mis- 
sions says : "Patronize home industries first." He is not half so bad as he 
seems on this. Ask any Gailey fund collector.

President of the Eagan-Rogers Steel and Iron Co., general foundry 
castings and specialties. 

Born September 24, 1882. Son of Daniel Eagan, born in Ireland, and Mary 
G. Eagan, born in England. Prepared at DeLancey School, Philadel- 
phia. Left Princeton, June 1904. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly.

Daniel Conan Eagan, 2d, born July 25, 1907, at Pittsburgh, Pa. 
Lawrence Eagan, born November 14, 1910, at Philadelphia, Pa. 

We welcome this letter from Dan Eagan and appreciate the spirit of it : 

"I note from your letter of March 17 that my association with the Class 
of 1906 is desirable and I wish to advise that I have felt that it would be 
more or less of an imposition to take advantage of this honor due to the 
fact that I was not with the Class up to graduation. 

"It is needless to say that I will be much pleased to cooperate in every 
possible manner in furnishing any information I possibly can." 

The Class does not consider it an imposition but a delight to have 
the opportunity of keeping in touch and feeling the interest of the men who 
are a part of it, as charter members. 

Dan Eagan has been a pretty busy man since college. He followed the 
same Hne of work as his father and in this has made a special study of the 
electrical refining of steel. He is not interested in politics, but as a RepubH- 
can and a "Conservative" is for President Taft. As for corporations, he 
believes in government supervision to the extent of "regulation for the 
protection of all." 

He is a member of the Catholic Church. In travel he has gone over 
the Continent and about thirty of the States. 

DEANE EDWARDS 

(a) 423 Laurel Avenue, St. Paul, Minn. 

(b) Glasgow, Scotland 

(c) Care of the American Express Co., 6 Haymarket, London 

Ministry. Fellow, in resident study at the Scottish Theological 
Universities. 

Born March 31, 1885. Son of Maurice D. Edwards of Pittsburgh, Pa., and 
Annie Louise Deane Edwards of Hartford, Conn. Prepared at the St. 
Paul Central High School. A.B., Princeton 1906, Graduated from 
Auburn Theological Seminary, 1912. Holds the Alumni Fellowship of 
Auburn Seminary for year (1912-1913). 

Deane, of course you will be good and let us tell the most recent Impor- 
tant event in your history in your own words, even if it is a quotation from a 
private letter: 

"You (an editor) who are familiar with the bachelor tendencies of our 

67 



family will be surprised at the little item of news that is to be speeded to 
you. On Friday of this week (June 7, 1912) Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Dulles of 
Auburn will announce the engagement of their daughter Margaret to Deane 
Edwards of St. Paul, Minn. 

"You can imagine what a joyful mortal I am." 

And then follows a few pages of rhapsodies, in which not unnaturally 
Miss Dulles receives some passing notice. This engagement of Deane's is 
very much within the family circle of Princeton. Miss Dulles is the daughter 
of Dr. Dulles who is a Princeton man of the Class of '75. Two brothers are 
Princeton men, Foster Dulles '08 and Allen Dulles '14. 

Deane sailed for Glasgow on the Minneapolis on September 21 to reside 
for a year in that city of Scottish Theological Universities, Scotch whiskey, 
and Scotch shipyards, to study the first along the line of ethics. He had 
won this prize of the course at Auburn in the notable Alumni Fellowship of 
the Seminary, where he completed his work in June. The fellowship was won 
on all-round qualifications, entitling the holder to study what and where he 
will. 

Deane's life has been an active one. He had several years of business, 
feeling that a minister should have a first hand experience of the conditions 
he is to deal with in his pastorate, and then started in at Auburn. He has 
been a leader there in many sides of the seminary life, social, athletic and 
scholastic. In the summers, he spent his time in actual pastorate, the last 
summer being spent at Berg, North Dakota. Of this, he writes : 

"The most interesting feature, perhaps, because the nearest, is the 
summer spent in Dakota (1911). It was a summer of trying to be pastor of 
a parish that included as many miles in any direction as one wanted to go, — 
endlessness of prairie; but endlessness that included many people. It was 
interesting because of the newness of the country and the newness of 
those in it, but most of all because of the solid worth of the people, the 
friendships made among them and the joy of ministering to them." 

His active work so far in the church has consisted of Sunday School 
work and preaching. Boys' club work is attractive to him. In sports, Deane 
played on the Seminary teams in baseball, soccer and football. He has 
also gone in for tennis As a politician, he hasn't figured prominently, but 
he has -canvassed votes. He is for Woodrow Wilson for the presidency, 
though he is a Republican. Before his engagement, his answer to belief 
in woman suffrage was "Theoretically yes — practically no." He may have 
become more practical since. 

Here is a little note of greeting written by Deane to the secretary at 
the reunion last spring in Princeton (1912) : 

"This is the day that the fellows start to gather in the dear old town. 
There will be one place vacant at least, my own. Many things prevent my 
being on hand, though way back in the recesses of my sub-conciousness, I 
had cherished the hope that I would be able to come. I am with you all in 
spirit; but wish it might be a more substantial presence. Please remember 
me to the fellows one and all." 

68 



Deane, old Scotchman yourself, beware of those other things beside 
theology the Scotsman makes ! Come back loaded up with Calvinism, and 
take a church somewhere near New York where lots of us unregenerate of 
the Class can see you. Good luck! 



HAROLD SYDNEY EDWARDS 

(a c) 281 Summer Street, Boston, Mass. 
(b) 44 Court Street, Dedham, Mass. 

Wool business. With Francis Willey & Co., wool merchants. 

Born March 22, 1882. Son of Samuel Edwards and H. M. Edwards, both 
born in England. Prepared at Andover. C.E., Princeton 1906. Mem- 
ber of Princeton Club of New York. 
Married Jettie T. Wason. 

Harold S. Edwards, Jr., born February 13,. 1909, at Newburyport. 
Hal chose the woolen business and is so pleased with it that he fully 
intends it to be his life work. He has made a great success of it. He favors 
government supervision of business and a high protective tariff "under 
present conditions in the United States". This qualifying remark leads us 
to remind any member of the Class who cares to hear the woolen end of the 
Schedule K situation, that Hal must have the tale at his fingers' end. For 
which tip he will no doubt thank us providing applicants remit proper fees 
for professional advice. 

He is a Republican but feels that President Taft is quite unnecessary so 
far as housekeeping in Washington is concerned. He opposes woman 
suffrage and the initiative, referendum and recall. 

"Not bad anyway," he says of the effects of athletics. 

JOHN DWIGHT EELLS 

(a) Walton, N. Y. 

(b) 203 West Eightieth Street, New York City 

(c) The New York Tribune 

Newspaper work. Assistant Sunday editor, The Tribune, New 
York City. 

Born October 3, 1883. Son of John Seymour Eells of Walton, N. Y., and 
Esther Wilson Eells of Monroe, Michigan. Prepared at Walton High 
School. A.B., Princeton 1906. 

We appreciate your despair, John, as assistant editor of a big New York 
daily's Sunday magazine, at the sight of more copy after wallowing through 
columns and pages, and pages and columns of it a day. You hate the sight 
of anything that savors of the making of more words. You never made 

69 



many yourself, at least we never heard many, so why should you make them 
now, we can hear you reasoning, when you are in the business of chopping 
away with a blue pencil armies of words manufactured by others. 

Therefore, we excuse you, John, from answering the circular any further 
than the two words you did give up : 

"Definitely" as to choice or circumstance in your work. 

"Republican" as to politics. 

We reminisce, of Old Father William, answering thus his pestering 
young son : 

"I have answered three questions and that is enough," 
Said his father. "Don't give yourself airs ! 
"Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff? 
"Be off or I'll kick you down stairs !" 

Old Father WiUiam was just a bit rough. But he had a sense of humor. 



JOHN LINCOLN EISELE 

. (ab) 191 Ballantine Parkway, Newark, N. J. 
(c) 750 Broad Street, Newark, N. J. 

Investments. With Eisele & King, investments. 

Born January 18, 1884. Son of John C. Eisele of Newark, N. J., and Anne E. 

Brown Eisele of London, England, Prepared at Newark Academy. 

Litt.B., Princeton 1907. Member of the Princeton Club of Newark. 

Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Has attended all reunions. 
Married Madeleine O'Neill, September 18, 1912, at Newark, N. J. 

"No such luck" wrote John about the possibility of being married at the 
time he answered his circular. Gay deceiver ! Only a little while later and 
his engagement was announced and here he is, just before the book goes to 
press, safely married and settled down as a domestic man. 

He is in his present work because "father gave me the job". He states 
that he does not intend to make it his life work. He is a Republican but 
not an active political worker. He believes in unlimited competition in 
business and a tariff for revenue only, but not in woman suffrage. Colonel 
Roosevelt is his presidential choice. 

He has lectured in various Y, M. C. A,'s on athletics. He is a member 
of the Essex Troop, New Jersey state cavalry. He says that he has felt no 
ill effect from his athletic activities. He is active in both the boys' department 
of his church and the Y. M, C, A, As a rifle and revolver shot he is fast 
becoming an expert. These together with "rough-riding and polo" were his 
hobbies before being married. He is interested in all things military. He 
writes : "Represented the U. S. at the Olympic games in 1908 at London. 
Finished three years in the cavalry. Am trying to send fellows to Princeton.

We are going to hold you up to your beliefs on reunions, John. You 
write : "Let's have a yearly reunion". Right-0 ! You have been kept away 
from all of them so far. But, now we know how your sentiment is. You're 
for them. So make a break for the Seventh. 

MARION EPPLEY 

(ac) 80 Broadway, New York City 
(b) 39 East Fifty-seventh Street, New York City 

Stock and bond broker. Partner in the firm of Robert Goodbody 
& Co., members of the New York Stock Exchange. 

Born June 19, 1883. Son of Francis Marion Eppley of York, Pa., and Alice 
Oakes Eppley of Charleston, S. C. Prepared at Carteret Academy, 
Orange, N. J. B.S., Princeton 1906. Member of the Princeton club 
of New York. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Has attended all 
the reunions. 

Married Ethelberta Pyne Russell, May 8, 1909, at Princeton. 

Pop Eppley has done a deal of work on a special interest he has, which 
netted him his M.A. degree at Princeton last Commencement (1912). It will 
interest the Class to know that Pop was the first man to receive a degree 
given out by President Hibben as President of the University when he 
received from the President's hands his Master of Arts. Our Class has thus 
had a curious monopoly of President Hibben as dispenser of degrees. He 
gave us our degrees in 1906. The first he gave out six years later was to 
1906. Rather interesting after all, Pop, that your thesis was too late in 191 1 
for the degree. 

This is Pop's hobby: 

"Original research in chemistry. Reading in physical chemistry with 
special attention to precision measurements in Thermometry, the Phase 
Rule, Freezing Points of Solutions, etc. Research work on freezing points 
of solutions and on equi-molecular solutions of certain of Dopereiner's 
Triads." 

The special work in his profession has been "general, corporation sta- 
tistics and other subjects relating to the investment of funds". He has 

71 



done much reading since graduation, in economics, chemistry, American 
ethnology and a little history. 

He still takes a lot of delight in shooting, also in riding and in walking 
for exercise. He writes that he has felt good effects and general develop- 
ment from his work in scrub football. He is interested in Ireland, England 
and Holland because of business connections. 

He is not active in politics. On the questions of the day he speaks for 
unlimited competition in business if it can be accomplished by the operation 
of natural economic laws. He favors government supervision of corporations 
to secure absolute publicity of operations. He is for the initiative, referen- 
dum and to a certain extent for the recall of officers, but not of judges. He 
says he does not believe in woman suffrage "along 'womanhood* lines any 
more than I believe unrestricted 'manhood suft'rage' is advisable." Before 
the conventions, he expressed a preference for "Taft, or perhaps Underwood". 

SANDFORD GARLAND ETHERINGTON 

(a c) 156 Fifth Avenue, New York City 
(b) 527 Riverside Drive, New York City 

Wholesale paper salesman. With W. F. Etherington & Co., whole- 
sale paper. 

Born January 27, 1884. Son of William F. Etherington of Brooklyn, N. Y., 
and Grace G. Etherington of Biddeford, Maine. Prepared at Newark 
Academy. C.E., Princeton 1906. Member of Princeton Club of New 
York. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended the fifth reunion, 
was not in the country on the occasion of the others. 

Married Dorothy McKinney, October 15, 1910, at Greenwich, Conn. 

Eleanor Grace Etherington, born December 23, 191 1, in New York City. 

Just for a starter on Sandy's biography, get over into the back of this 
book and read a page headed "1906 Chowder and Marching Club." When 
you've breezed through that, turn back here and we'll tell you about it and 
him. 

Sandy is one of the j oiliest young promoters of corking Class doings the 
Class has got. Don't you believe it? Well, he wrote that circular. What's 
more, he got up the idea and put it through. What's still more, the Party 
was the scrumptionest kind of a time the lads who were fortunate enough to 
get a ticket on the train to Larchmont that day have ever had at a Class 
affair of one day's duration. Sandy is right in the game of whooping up 
the Class to have it one big block of solid fraternity. The interests of the 
Class as well as its individuals are preeminently a big interest in the life of 
S. G. E. Jack Munn and he turned off a little trick last college year in 
running a series of talks for the undergraduates by Princeton men on lines 
of post-college work. 

S. G. E. is a boatman. That is to say he doesn't row a ferry-boat across 

72 



the Spuyten Duyvil Creek for a living, but he Hkes "boats. It might be called 
his hobby. He's got a boat. So the boat and its Skipper put themselves at the 
service of the Class, and the answer was the Chowder Excursion, Clam- 
bake and Sailing Party that made such a stir in the Class this past summer. 
All the best known oystermen and clam reclaimers along both shores of the 
Sound know Etherington well. He's a splendid sailor. Sometimes you have 
to dig his ship out of the mud to get it started. That's how the oyster men 
know him. But truly if you ever want to bowl along in the merriest sort of a 
spanking breeze and a right smart pretty craft that dances over the Sound, 
persuade Sandy to ship you as crew. 

No one thought that S. Garland Etherington would ever come back 
from Mexico. His surroundings of cactus, mud huts, ore sacks, and Mexicans 
around El Salado when he was a mining engineer and prospector there got 
into the bone and the lure of the life seemed to have him. It's to Mrs. S. 
Garland Etherington we take off our hats. Mexico is a dim haze now in the 
mind of S. Garland. And when the call of a romantic land that has got into 
the bone is caused to float off into a thin ribbon of haze — well, there are a 
hundred and fifty married men in the Class who can explain it. Mere 
bachelors can't. Sandy hints at it : "Life has been uneventful except for 
marriage." This is all that Mexico amounts to now : "Intimately interested 
in Mexico. Have mining interests there and like the people, life, etc., 
intensely," writes Sandy. 

Of sports, he writes: "Get hard exercise in summer, swimming, tennis, 
etc. Confined in winter to squash, indoor tennis, gym. work." Outdoor life, 
especially on water, is his hobby. 

No graduate study for him: "Had a sufficiency at Princeton." He 
studies paper, and has read considerable fiction and history. 

He is a Republican. Before the conventions, his choice for president was 
Judson Harmon. "Consider minor elections unimportant," he writes. "Take 
little or no interest in New York state politics." He ranks himself as a 
"Middler" in political belief. 

"Believe in woman suffrage? No. Does any male? If so, who?" 

ROBERT P. FAIRING*

A post-card lately received from Bob Fairing contained only the above 
address. Good beginning, Bob. Can't we have a little inside information 
next time? 

HENRY DENISON FISH 

(a) ^6 Green v^ich Street, Hempstead, N. Y. 
(be) St. Mark's School, Southboro, Mass. 

Organist and choii-master, St. Mark's School. 

73 



Born August 6, 1884. Son of John Dean Fish of Derby, Vt., and Julia B. 
Force Fish of Brooklyn, N. Y. Prepared at Hempstead High School. 
A.B., Princeton 1906. Attended first and fifth reunions. 

Henry says that his profession was "definitely chosen" and that he intends 
to stick at it until he joins the ''Choir Invisible" and has a golden harp all his 
own. From what we remember of his talent during undergraduate years this 
is not surprising, for even in those days he was a fish out of water when not 
entertaining us with something good from his piano. However, we were 
somewhat puzzled to know just what part of his musical education he was 
cultivating the night he helped carry the idol in the Grand March in Aida 
at the Metropolitan Opera House, last winter. Perhaps he was practicing 
that little thing from Alice in Wonderland — "Beautiful supe". Naturally, 
having given his best thoughts to such purely aesthetic subjects as motifs, 
themes, intermezzos, Henry has to admit that he hasn't time to hold public 
office, or find out the proper answer to our questions about the control of 
trusts, the reduction of the tariff and such prosaic stuff. He had just 
returned from a tour of the English Cathedral choirs and so we may soon 
expect to hear that some glorious Magnificat bears the name of our classmate. 

With regard to future reunions, Henry makes the following very perti- 
nent suggestion : "Perhaps the responsibility might be distributed among a 
larger portion of the class, thereby increasing their interest." Henry, when 
it comes to distributing responsibility, you may count on our united support, 
plus all the energy we've got left when this book has gone to print. 

JOHN HENRY FITCH, JR. 

(a c) 102 Wick Avenue, Youngs town, Ohio 
(b) 1357 Ohio Avenue, Youngs town 
Wholesale grocery business. Secretary of the John H. Fitch Co., 
wholesale grocers, importers and packers of olives, coffees, teas, 
etc. 
Born August i, 1883. Son of John H. Fitch and Alice Packard, both of 
Austintown, O. Prepared at Rayen High School. Left Princeton June 
1904; Attended tKe fifth reunion. 
Married Pearl Bowman Squire, August 21, 1907, at Youngstown, O. 
Doris Joan Fitch born May 22, 1912. 
Lest the rest of the Class are not aware of your real fame, Hookie, you 
are hereby proclaimed the one incomparable gymnastic instructor the Uni- 
versity has ever turned out. His specialty, gents, was in instructing the 
unwary to try cut-offs on the flying rings, so performed that they could 
not possibly escape cracking their necks. In this way, it has been darkly 
hinted, he has disposed of several of his enemies,— a grand jury secret. 

Hook, however, has now left these shady pursuits for the enlightened 
life of the home man. Of which, we may say, that his life now is a constant 
delight. 

74 



We rejoiced to see you at the fifth reunion, Hook, after your separation 
from Princeton that had lasted since you left us in college. One privilege 
the writers of these notes now have on commission from the Class is this of 
extending the Class' warm welcome especially to the men that were so much 
a part of the Class in its palmy days of full membership in Freshman and 
Sophomore year and who left us a little early in the game. The Class 
would say that we are all one again. So let the fatted calf be killed and let 
the music play. Therefore we are looking for you, Hookie, for the rest of 
the reunions on the earth beneath as well as in the heavens above. Get that 
automobile of yours in shape and plough right on to Princeton next June. 

"Automobile construction" is one of his hobbies. And it is really funny, 
Hook, to hear that you are so good at golf that they put you on the team 
of the Youngstown Country Club. Has Youngstown's doughtiest slugger of 
the baseball, degenerated to golf? Hook, you'll be getting gout next. Even 
here is a sign of it: "Have had too good an appetite for the amount of 
exercise taken." 

He is a RepubHcan, undecided about a president. He is a member of the 
Disciples of Christ Church. 

BROOKS FLEMING, JR. 

(ab) Fairmount, West Virginia 

Coal business. With the Consolidation Coal Company. 

Married Amy J. Dodson, November 15, 1906, at Columbus, O. She died 
February 9, 1907. 

It was good to see you. Brooks, at the Hibben dinner in New York last 
spring, all the way up from Fairmount. We take this as the opening gun in 
an active campaign of reunion visits. So we are counting on you at the 
Seventh and all thereafter. It is a delight to have you once more in the 
bosom of the family. A lot of us have a longing to get the Class more 
together as it was in Freshman and Sophomore year and to renew old times 
with the fellows who got ofif the train at Penn's Neck, before the end of the 
line.

Born May 3, 1884. Son of Fred Francke, born in Germany, and Caroline 
Lieber Francke of Minnesota. Prepared al the Manual Training High 
School, Indianapolis, Ind. Left Princeton 1905. Member of the local 
Princeton Club. 

Married Margaret Wheeler, February 2, 1910, at Indianapolis. 

Fritz has broken with the city life, discarded the social glamor and the 
so-called "civilizing" influences. He has gone joyously back to the soil, to 
healthy outdoor life. He has cleared off a place in Florida for a bungalow. 
His work will be remaining robust, raising cane (correct spelling?), truck 
and later on grape-fruit. 

Politically, Fritz favors Woodrow, the initiative, referendum, recall and 
legal supervision of business. Economics has taken most of his reading time. 

Christian Science has won in his philosophy of life. 

With economics mentally. Christian Science spiritually and farming phy- 
sically, we imagine Fritz will be well worth renewing acquaintance with at 
future reunions. 

Sports : "Chop trees, grub palmettos and pine trees." 

He writes : "Have left home ties, cut down trees, and cleared a place 
for an attractive bungalow. Will raise cane, truck, and later, grape-fruit. 
Back to the soil and the healthy outdoor life unrestricted by false social 
regulations."

The political genius of the class, orator, statesman, — draw near ye class- 
mates and listen to the record of William Coleman Freeman, sometimes 

76 



familiarly known as "Bill" — Member of the House of Representatives, Penn- 
sylvania Legislature; Republican nominee for Congress (1912), i8th District 
Pennsylvania ; Member of the Commission to Revise Election Laws of Penn- 
sylvania ; and student of "the election laws of all the other states". And to 
think that after such success he should modestly affirm that no fire of genius 
lighted his path into the forum, but his face was turned in that direction 
"more or less by circumstances" ! Bill is a real politician, though, no matter 
whether he became one from choice or chance. He makes few admissions 
before election time. Thus read his pleas to our indictments : Government 
supervision of corporations? Yes. What extent? No answer. What kind 
of tariff? Fair protective tariff. Six other questions, all more or less per- 
tinent or impertinent, mayhap, are disposed of in these words of Bill's that 
sound most reproving — or is this just a Congressional chuckle — "This is 
hardly the time for me to answer some of the above." Now, Bill. We 
wouldn't have peeped to your constituents ! And what if they happened to 
see something here ! They wouldn't believe us "nohow". 

Bill has progressed likewise in the church and is vestryman of St. Luke's 
Episcopal Church, Lebanon. Nor has he neglected his physical needs, as he 
"plays a good deal of tennis", and takes an active interest in his farming. 
However, like a certain old Roman, he is ready to leave his plow for the 
forum, when the call comes this fall. The whole class is ready to flock into 
Pennsylvania to repeat for you, Bill, if you need it. But you won't. Good 
luck!

BENJAMIN APPLEGATE FURMAN 

(a) 65 South Tenth Street, Newark, N. J. 
(b c) Presbyterian Hospital, 41 East Seventieth Street, New York 
Cit> 

Physician, Second assistant House Surgeon in the Presbyterian 
Hospital, New York City. 

Born August 18, 1883. Son of John A. Furman and Emma C. Ayres Furman. 
Prepared at Newark High School. B.A., Princeton 1906; M.D., College 
of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, 1910. Attended the 
third reunion. 

If you move around in the circle of the younger medical set of this town 
of New York, you will find out that Ben Furman has done remarkably good 
work in medicine. He drew an excellent appointment in the Presbyterian 
Hospital, one of the prizes of the medical appointments in New York and is 
now second assistant surgeon in the house. 

Outside the work of his profession, he has done a moderate amount of 
reading in history and politics, a course in Princeton that if we remember 
rightly Ben specialized in. He did his reading so well in college under 
President Wilson that he is now casting all the votes he has for the Governor 
to elect him to the biggest Presidency. He has never missed an election or 
a chance to vote. He is a Democrat and a "conservative radical" ; is against 
the initiative and its hand maidens and is open to conviction either way on 
woman suffrage. 

Ben gets his exercise in 5 or 6 hours of tennis a week in all seasons 
except winter. He is a member of the Roseville Baptist Church of Newark.

Let Bob tell his own story. 

"It's full of little 'interest' to others, but several things are of vital 
interest to myself," he writes. "Seemingly thriftless when leaving .college, 
after running a newspaper in St. Louis, — a cub reporter for a year — I tried to 
get close to nature, after Henry van Dyke, and 'God's great out-of-doors,' 
down on the borders of Mexico in irrigated farming in the most south-west- 
erly point of Texas. All I raised in a five months' stay besides Hell was 
typhoid fever, a kill or cure sort of disease, 'tis said, mentally, spiritually 
and physically. 

"Well, I am still here, so am not a dead one and am a living example of 
the 'remaking' part. 

"A visit to the marvelous Passion Play of Oberammergau the summer 
of 1910 completed the transformation, so that at our quinquennial it was 
announced that I was headed for a theological seminary — where there are no 
bird cages allowed — and the miracle or natural phenomenon was complete 
when I found that my old kindred souled room-mate of 22 Little Hall, Ame 
Hoagland, who had seen much of the underworld since graduation, himself 
was undergoing a change of heart and was prepared for a missionary to 
China as a Y. M. C. A. physical director in Peking. Ame has recently 
reached China in the midst of the bullets of the Revolutionists, which I am 
glad to say he and his charming young bride have succeeded in dodging." 

Answering how he was influenced in taking up his work. Bob writes : 
"My first venture, newspaper work, was dictated by circumstances. A news- 
paper started up at home just at the same time that I finished college. En- 
joyed it. But the business of a manufacturer's agent loomed up for greater 
returns. After a year and a half of that, I decided that all business was 
trivial in comparison with the opportunities for good in the ministry." 

The ministry a life-work ? 

"Yes. To be a minister or missionary or prep school teacher." 

As for intellectual work, his was this, says Bob : 

"Searched my soul. And what is more important? Or more unusual?" 

His reading has been along social and religious Hnes, but no regular 
courses. As for degrees in graduate work; "I am looking for an M.A. and a 
B.D.— then a few L.L.D.'s," he writes. 

Bob is a member of the Presbyterian Church. During last winter (1911- 
1912) he was the superintendent and a teacher in an Italian Sunday School 
in the Little Italy of the upper East Side of New York. It was one of the 
churches in the string of Italian institutions that Norman Thomas, 1905, is 
looking after. Of social and boys' work, Bob sa3^s : "Have a Boys' Club and 
think the Big Brother movement excellent — especially for the Big Brothers." 
He speaks thus of foreign mission work: "I think that only as foreign mis- 
sionary work increases will the Christian Church increase. My active part has 
been limited to thus singing its praises." 

Special interests outside profession? 

"No. Not even love-making. My profession is so inclusive, so broad 
in its scope that one need not look outside it for other interests to keep 

79 



from dry-rot or the lately popular 'sanitarium' — high life name for bug-house 
— for nervous break-downs." 

Of sports: 

"Golf in spare moments. Try to lay up a store in summer to last through 
the winter. Find I get a keenness of touch from playing tiddeldy-winks, which 
I expect to benefit me as a minister in 'touching' the congregation to keep 
Hoagland and Froelick in China from starving to death. 

"I think all branches of sport, when not weakening the heart, are bene- 
ficial in giving men self-confidence, nerve, self-control and quick thinking — 
and when on a team, unselfish allegiance to others and devotion to a cause." 

He has traveled over half the United States, from Mexico to Canada and 
from coast to coast and has jaunted over England and the Continent. 

Bob has had some share in political work. He has served as clerk and 
<JS judge of elections and was a member of the law enforcement committee of 
the Civic Improvement League of St. Louis. He is another Republican who 
will leave the ranks for Woodrow Wilson this fall. He believes in unre- 
stricted combination but not unrestricted operation of corporations, wants 
government supervision to regulate rates and fix maximum charges and 
minimum wage, also a limited protective tariff and single tax for revenue. 
The initiative and allied doctrines, he believes in to arouse public interest, 
but thinks they may be a source of great confusion and evil in government. 

Believe in woman suffrage? "Profoundly". 

And Bob says he is a "Middler" in everything except in this. 

Date and place of marriage? 

"Palm Date in Never, Never Land — 
And sad but true, 
'Tis leap year too." 

Wife's maiden name — " 'Too pretty to change,' she said." 

Children — "I can't remember." 

Thus endeth the reading of the first lesson and the biography of Robert 
Barnes Gait. May he live long, preach short, as all good ministers should, 
and have the rare good success that he deserves !

How about Tom Lawson, fellow citizen of Boston, for Vice-President? 

Tom Galvin appears to be an unregenerate Bourbon in politics, urging 
unrestricted combination of corporations and a high protective tariff. Besides 
he will have nothing of the recall and its brethren, those great friends of the 
'Teepul". Away with these, says Tom. Let us go about our business, study- 
ing how to manage it scientifically and playing our golf on Sundays. He 
has travelled in 26 states and in Europe. He is a Roman Catholic.

We wish you had told us something of the way you built your church out 

81 



there at Gillette, Wyoming, Ashley, and something about the men of that 
country you were with, real men, we take it. But as you haven't, we'll have to 
tell the little we know, — of a parish as broad as several counties and of the 
need for a church, that it seemed impossible to get built. We have heard of 
2 trip, several of them, by the sky-pilot, to the East here, of successful efforts 
among friends here to raise the backing for the church building to go on. 
And the church was built and with the building, we have heard, an organiza- 
tion among the men of that particular Wyoming territory that grew lustily 
and strong. We congratulate you on the work you completed out in the 
West, Ashley. 

Ash has now come East, he thinks permanently, to take up a pastorate 
here. The first time he greeted a gathering of brethren of the Class was at 
the inauguration of President Hibben, not long after he had come East. 

Both definite choice and circumstance combined in Ash's entrance into 
the ministry. In sports, he rides horseback a lot, — a habit they get in 
Wyoming. As for a president, he was undecided some time ago. However, 
"T. R. is O. K." on government supervision of corporations, he says. On 
woman suffrage, he writes : "Believe in woman's right to vote, but don't 
believe circumstances of her life favorable to suffrage." He is a "conserva- 
tive". We are glad you are in our midst here in the East once more, Ash, 
where a little Wyoming atmosphere makes a whole lot of improvement. 

GALE TAYLOR GERMAN 

(ab) 2501 Canarsie Road, Brooklyn, N. Y. 
(c) 30 Ferry Street, New York City. 

Salesman. With the Charles A. Schieren Company, leather behing. 

Born September 22. (Date "191 1" questioned). Son of Lewis German of New 
York and Addie Taylor German of Brooklyn. Prepared at Erasmus 
Hall High School, Brooklyn. Left Princeton, 1904. Attended first and 
fifth reunions. 

Dutch, we get you on that suggestion for reunions, — "Have better facili- 
ties for keeping the beer cold." You must feel a lot easier now with that 
knotty matter off your mind. Referred to the Committee on Arrangements. 

Gale swims and plays tennis in addition to his daily vocation of being in 
business with an ex-Mayor of Brooklyn. He goes to the Reformed Dutch 
Church, is a conservative Republican, and got into his work by arrangement 
of forces beyond himself.

Born May 26, 1883, Son of John Gibson, born in Ireland and Mary E. Gibson 
of Pittsburgh. Prepared at Shadyside Academy. Litt.B., Princeton, 
February 1907. Member of the Princeton Club of Western Pennsyl- 
vania. Has attended all reunions "formal and informal." 

Married Elizabeth B. Hemphill, January 21, 1908. 

His work was chosen and believing it to be best suited to him. 
Brownie intends to make it his life work. In politics he is a Republican and 
has done some canvassing for votes at borough elections. Unlimited compe- 
tition in business, he thinks to be a good thing. True to his status as a 
married man, he is an advocate of woman suffrage and endorses the other 
progressive doctrines of the day. Woodrow Wilson is his choice for presi- 
dent — Republican or no Republican. 

He has done some social work in connection with boys' and men's church 
clubs. In addition, "bridge, history, relics, military affairs, fortresses, and 
cemeteries" claim his attention. 

He writes : "Have become a trifle weightier since getting married. Smoke 
to keep down the avoirdupois. Not caused by drink. Most happy and getting 
along fine. Happened in to the Philadelphia dinner on December 19, 191 1; 
1906 did not seem to be represented. Rafferty, Uptegraff, Smith, Wilson and 
myself represented Pittsburgh last June (1911) at Western Pennsylvania 
dinner." 

JAMES GILMORE 

(ab) 2031 North Howard Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 
(c) Central High School, Philadelphia 

Teaching. English department. 

Born November 16, 1884. Son of James T. Gilmore of Philadelphia. Pre- 
pared at Central High School, Philadelphia. A.B., Princeton 1906, 
Member of the Princeton Club of Philadelphia. Has attended all 
reunions. 

Has James been back to reunions? Well, we guess he has. On the first 
page of our questions he says : "First, second, third, fourth and fifth." And as 
he makes no criticism of them, nor suggestions for their improvements, we 
lay the flattering unction to our soul that he was pleased, yea verily, even 
satisfied. But we digress — 

As to his profession of teaching, Jim says it was the result of "Inclina- 
tion, preparation and circumstances." But he now thinks that it suits him, 
and that he will follow teaching in some of its branches for the rest of his 
life. He has taken a post graduate course in English but has not received a 
degree ; and his reading has not been along any definite line. 

Politically, he is not much interested, but votes every year for the one he 
thinks the best man ; believes in government supervision of corporations, 

83 



tariff revision downward, but not to the bottom ; tavors "I. R. & R." but not 
for judges. He considers himself a "Middler" in politics and hopes Woodrow 
will be our next President. 

His physical training has been continued on the local Princeton Club base- 
ball team ,and he has been coaching the team of the Central High School. 
He has music for a hobby; and is greatly interested in the recent develop- 
ments in the government of England. 

FRANKLIN PURNELL GLASS 

(a c) The Birmingham News, Birmingham, Ala. 

(b) 2030 Quinlan Avenue, Birmingham 
Newspaper work. State news editor for The Birmingham News 

Co. 
Born January 14, 1885. Son of F. P. Glass, Princeton 'y'j, of Centreville, 
Ala., and Mattie Purnell Glass of Selina, Ala. Prepared at Starne's 
University School, Montgomery, Ala. B.A., Princeton 1907. Attended 
first and fifth reunions. 

We wish you had come up out of the South, Frank, to edit this book 
for us. There's room for a State and a United States News Editor here. 
Frank Glass, as state editor, covers the territory of Alabama, Georgia, Mis- 
sissippi and Tennessee — which is going some. His work as an editor was 
reached by "circumstance as well as inclination". 

Imagine a Southern newspaper man not being in politics! Of course 
he is in politics and it takes the form of editorial and news stories — some 
press work. We catch that scornful "Sure" of yours, Frank, in reply to the 
question "Do you know the name of your representative in the government?" 
We must have forgot you an instant when that question got on the list. But 
then, would you believe it, a lot of us ignorant citizens around New York 
here have never heard of our representatives? 

As expected, he is a Democrat and a Woodrow Wilson man. He is for 
the recall of officers only and is "not yet" for woman suffrage. He speaks 
for a very strict supervision of corporations, with unlimited competition as 
an ideal condition. 

"A five mile walk with a sort of club four times weekly," constitutes 
his exercise. His reading has been in fiction and in social subjects. He is a 
member of the Presbyterian Church and interested but not actively in social 
movements.

He is a Democrat of conservative tendencies who has not been active in

Born September 19, 1883. Son of William Owen Goodman and Erna Sawyer 
Goodman. Prepared at Harvard School, Chicago, and The Hill. 
Litt.B., Princeton 1906. Member of the Princeton Club of Chicago. 
Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended third and fifth reunions. 

Married Marjorie Johnston Robbins, June 12, 1912, at Lake Forest, 111. 

The key-note of Ken Goodman's career is most directly struck if you 
will glance at the description of his special interest: 

"Play writing and books and etchings. I am curator of the Print depart- 
ment at the Art Institute of Chicago. I also sketch a Httle in oil and am 
one of the directors of the Art Students League." 

He writes further under intellectual activities : T have been writing short 
plays and doing some translating from the French. Have also written some 
historical pageants. I have specialized in English, French and American 
drama, principally modern." He has done a great deal of reading in the 
drama. 

Though Ken has been rather well occupied in the work of the lumber 
concerns in which he holds responsible positions, it fs clear from his circular 

85 



that writing is his aim and that he intends to give more and more time to it. 
In the writing of historical pageants, he has done one in connection with a 
Chicago city celebration. 

Of sports Ken writes : "I play racquets and squash regularly in winter 
and golf and tennis in summer." He is interested in the work of the District 
Council, United Charities. He is a Republican and a "Conservative", stand- 
ing for President Taft for reelection. He believes in woman suffrage with 
educational qualifications, but "absolutely not", in the recall and its associates. 
He believes in Germany's attitude toward corporations, in a restoration of 
competition though not through persecution of capital and in government 
supervision within sane and reasonable limits. 

He has travelled in 34 states and in Egypt, France, England, Italy and 
Cuba. 

LATIMER GOODRICH 

(a be) 1035 East Forty-fifth Street, Chicago, 111. 

Investments, farm mortgages. 

Born May 5, 1884. Son of A. C. Goodrich of Pittsfield, Vt., and Mary S. 
Goodrich of Delaware, Wis. B.S., Princeton 1906. Member of the 
Princeton Club of Chicago. 

"You will have to give me more time to develop some interesting fact 
or deed," writes Lat, answering the quest for life secrets. "When I do I 
will be only too glad to sit right down and write it. The time has been too 
short." 

The following sentence in answer to a request to Lat to fill out a second 
circular surely shows Class spirit as well as a willingness to endure hardly. 
Hear ye Lat's resignation : "I have answered all circulars received and shall 
only be too glad to answer as many more as you care to send." Our com- 
pliments and thanks to you, Lat ! 

His work was taken up because of the death of his father. He feels 
that it is well suited to him. He is a Republican of conservative proclivities, 
but he does stand for woman suffrage. History has been largely the 
subject of his special reading. Music is his special interest. Golf is his 
diversion. 

"Have never been able to attend any of the reunions," he writes. We 
are hunching that the year 1913 will be an exception, Lat, so come along.

Institute, Jersey City. A.B., Princeton 1906; LL.B., New York Law 
School 1908. Member of the Princeton Alumni Association of Hudson 
Co. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended fifth reunion. 

"Judging by the reports in the papers," writes Gop, "the advertising men 
seem best able to marry. Most of the interesting events are happening in 
their families." Very true, but the lawyers are doing their share too, Gop. 
So chipper up and look around. 

"I served a full term in the Signal Corps, N. G. N. J.," he writes of his 
exercise and organization activity. "Am also interested in tennis." 

In his profession he has made a special study of estates. He is a Re- 
publican and for President Taft Of philanthropic activity he writes : "I 
was at one time in charge of a Boys' club connected with my church (the 
Dutch Reformed)." He is especially interested in England, "the ancestral 
home of the Gopsills".

Lieutenant Gordon left the Philippines for the States in July, 1912. He 
is therefore now in the United States and of what he expects to do with part 
of his time, he writes: "Have never had an opportunity to visit Princeton. 
But expect to be on the job for four years from, next fall (1912) for 
reunions, etc." 

We'll be on the watch out, soldier man, so come along. 

During his stay in the Philippines, he was two years in Moro Province, 
Mindinao. He is a baseball man in his troop and squadron and he plays a 
good deal of tennis. Among his Philippine pleasantries were typhoid and 
amoebic dysentery, both from field work. He has visited Hawaii and Japan.

Born October 9, 1883. Son of Benjamin Graham of London, England and

Litt.B., Princeton 1906. Member of the Princeton Club of New York. 
Attended the first and fifth reunions. 

Married Sarah A. Jefferson, on June 26, 191 1, at Boston, Mass. 

His present line of endeavor was largely a matter of circumstances. He 
writes that he "found a chance to sell bonds for Lee, Higginson & Co. and 
grabbed it". He is a Republican and has canvassed votes in his district 
organization. Considers himself a "Middler" in politics, does not beheve in 
woman suffrage and the new doctrines of the progressives and as to his 
choice for president remarks : "Not Woodrow anyhow". 

He has taken several courses in bonds and investment securities and has 
read much in economics as related to business. He is a member of the Mont- 
clair Athletic club, where he plays on the baseball second team, the squash 
and tennis teams, and gets in some golf. In the course of his travels, he has 
visited s^ states of this country. 

Commenting on reunions, he writes : "Try to find a uniform that is com- 
fortable and can be worn during the whole show." He favors a large seventh 
reunion.

CLAYTON WELLINGTON GREENE 

(ab) 385 Jersey Street, Buffalo, N. Y. 
(c) 469 Franklin Street, Buffalo, N. Y. 

Physician. Associated with Dr. Nelson G. Russel. 

Born March 14, 1884. Son of Walter D. Greene of South Starksboro, Ver- 
mont, and Mary Pursel Greene of Safe Harbor, Pa. Prepared at 
Masten Park High School, Buffalo. A.B., Princeton 1906; M.D., Uni- 
versity of Buffalo 1910. Member of the Princeton Club of Buffalo. 
Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. 

"The few interesting things that have happened to me have occurred 
since January i, 1912, when I finished my interneship in the Buffalo General 
Hospital," writes Clayton. "I have been made secretary of the Milk Com- 
mission of the Medical Society of the County of Erie ; am one of the attend- 
ing physicians to the Good Samaritan Dispensary which is connected with 
the Medical School and I am assisting in the physiological laboratory of the 
medical department of the University of Buffalo." 

He is lecturer on urinalysis and hygiene in the training school of the 
Buffalo General Hospital. In his profession, he is giving particular attention 
to internal medicine. His reading has been of moderate amount along 
economic and social lines. 

His reasons for breaking into medicine are interesting : "Both choice 
and circumstance, I like medicine and always have. But there are nine other 
physicians including my father in the family. Medicine seems to be a famil- 
iar occupation with us." 

Doctor Clayton is active in the Church and other religious work. He is a 
member of the official board of the Plymouth Methodist Episcopal Church 
and of the local committee of the Men and Religion Forward Movement. 
Pie is interested in boys' work, social work and foreign missions. 

His special interest is "Farming and especially the production of pure 
milk." 

In addition to all these activities, he finds time not only to have political 
views, but also to spread them. He is a Republican and a regular one, flat- 
foot for William H. Taft. However, he doesn't follow Uncle Joe on the 
tariff for he wants one only for revenue. Neither does he follow his presi- 
dential choice on the initiative and its colleagues, for he wants them all 
except the recall of judges. He has helped in his party by personal work 
among friends and acquaintances. 

He writes : "We have recently had in the medical school two old pupils 
of George Stewart and Walter Davison from the American Protestant 
College at Beirut, Syria. One came from near Cairo — a native Egyptian. 
The other a Syrian, born in Beirut, is now here and has changed his two 
*dub' professors for one real one — Me!" 

Clayton, our parting word — Get back for your first reunion next year 
Great sport, reunions !

HAYWARD GREENLAND 

(a) Hinsdale, Massachusetts. Care of Norman Hamer. 
Engineer. ^ 

Born September 23, 1884. Son of W. Y. Greenland and Harriet Beebe 
Greenland. Prepared at Lawrenceville. B.S., Princeton 1906. Sub- 
scribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended first reunion. 

"Nothing particularly interesting," writes Ice, of his life history. Well 
and good. The ordinary citizen of New York getting his excitement riding 
subway trains, might suppose Ice had merely devoted himself to reading the 
Outlook for a life time. Not so. "Nothing particularly interesting" in 
Mexico, from which Ice departed last March (1912) is the equivalent of a 
Rosenthal case in New York, that's all. Ice continues to explain "nothing 
particularly interesting". "Have been threatened by mobs on two occasions 
but am still alive as they didn't have the nerve." What was it? His sandy 
American hair? Or those good-looking American tailored clothes? Anyway 
Ice is smiling still. 

In Mexico, at Jalapa, Veracruz, Hal had been engineer in charge of 
small contracts in the Municipal Department, and was associated with the Cia 
Cdnstructora de Ferrocarriles. He has come back to stay in the U. S. A. 
though what if he may just be up here searching in the eternal question? 

He was led to engineering mainly by circumstances, and although he 
refuses to commit himself, expects it to be his life job. 

According to his record sheet he was a Republican when he went to 
Mexico, but the same sheet later shows signs of the Mexican revolutionary 
spirit — for he believes in a tariff for revenue only. The Republican side of 
Ice's internal revolution is in a chaotic state for he favors Woodrow Wilson, 
but this may be pure gratitude. Ice did get his diploma after all. 

He is a radical as to government supervision of business but opposes 
woman suffrage. To the query "Have you voted regularly?" he writes — 
"No — too expensive" — Ice is evidently not in touch with the managers of the 
right political party. Fiction, biography, travel, history and Spanish have 
taken what little reading time he has been able to spare. 

PAUL MORROW HALE 

(a) Deerwood, Crow Wing County, Minn, 
(b c) Deerwood, Minn. 

Mining engineer. Selling mineral lands on Cuyuna Iron Range. 

Born September 2, 1882. Son of James T. Hale and Henrietta Morrow Hale 
both of Towanda, Pa. Prepared at The Hill. B.S., Princeton 1906. 
Member of the Princeton Alumni Association of the Northwest. Sub- 
scribes to the Alumni Weekly. 

The psalm-singer of the outdoor life. Listen ye all: 

90 



"I have spent most of my time in the woods and country, except for an 
occasional trip to the coast or East. Most of my work has been out of doors, 
summer and winter. Most of my pastimes have been out-of-door ones." — 
Paul Morrow Hale. 

Inspiring, Perry ! Come on along- to the next reunion and persuade a 
few of us toilers in the muck and gloom of these cities to get out with you 
and see life. At least give us a breath of the fresh air you have lived in 
and tell us all about it. 

Prairie-chicken and duck-shooting, black-bass fishing, snow-shoeing and 
skeeing, and engineering work always in the open — this is a life for you, 
outdoors whether at work or at play. 

Circumstance drew him into the work that he does and evidently only 
Fate itself will ever take him out of it Geology and mining literature take 
up his reading time. He has felt no bad effects from scrub and class football 
teams. 

As a conservative Republican, he favors President Taft. He has can- 
vassed votes. He does not believe in woman suffrage, favors a protective 
tariff, and likewise the initiative, referendum and recall. 

SINCLAIR HAMILTON 

(ab) 264 West Ninety-third Street, New York City 
(c) 49 Wall Street, New York City 

Lawyer. With Hasten & Nichols. 

Born October 17, 1884. Son of Samuel M. Hamilton of Conlig, County Down, 
Ireland, and Emily A. Porter Hamilton of Philadelphia, Pa. Prepared 
at the Englewood School for Boys, Englewood, N. J. B.A., Princeton 
1906; LL.B., Columbia 1909. Member of Princeton Club of New York. 
Has attended all reunions. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly. 

Married Christine Hitchings, May 4, 1912, in New York City. 

Plaintive deceiver, Sinclair ! 

"Alas No!" he wept, answering our query "date and place of marriage." 

A little while later, oh, a very little while, around the 4th of May in 
fact, we got our invitation cards, — " . . .the pleasure of your company 
. . . marriage . . . Christine Hitchings and Mr. Sinclair Hamilton." 
Delighted? We should say! Especially after that earlier note of sorrow and 
sadness ! 

But you never can tell what a lawyer means when he talks for publication. 

Oh, Ho! Sinclair. We've got you now! (Business of polite merri- 
ment.) Do you remember what you wrote some time ago about this very 
thing — matrimony? Just wait till Mrs. Hamilton reads what we are going 
to write this minute, direct quotation marks, signed statement! These astute 
lawyers, indeed! You can catch 'em once in a while, if you wait long enough. 

Quoting — reply to request for life experiences, etc. — 

"No incidents except watching my friends get married," writes Sinclair 

91 



the Bold. Hold your breath, now, students, it's coming, spot light center 
stage, please . . . "In fact life has been just one damn marriage after 
another" . . . thrill, quick succession of tl'em, volcano explosion up 
stage, heavy music now playing, imposing finale, tableaux . . . "But as 
for me — Give me liberty or give me death." (Curtain.) 

Of course, our glory will be short lived. He'll be able to explain this. 
For it's heard all up and down Wall street these days that he is fast becoming 
one of our cleverest young barristers up there in Masten and Nichols and is 
shooting skyward with a very rapid motion. 

Then too Sine has learned the art of mellow words and poetic feeling. 
Glance at his hobbies : 

"Humanity and the fine arts. 'Quick, Watson, the needle!' " 

Do not jest, now, Sinclair, we have you down. His reading has been 
much, — divided among fiction, poetry, history, philosophy. 

His sports are tennis and riding. Early mornings in the park a-horseback 
are sometimes particularly delightful. His church and philanthropic work for 
publication purposes consists of membership on the civic committee of the 
Mens' Association of the Brick Presbyterian Church. He is a Democrat, not 
active in politics. He is against the initiative and its fellows, but is for 
woman suffrage, if properly limited. He is for Woodrow Wilson, with 
admonitions. 

Travels — England, Ireland and the Continent, — ^"also Brooklyn". The 
juxtaposition of this last is a little unkind, Sinclair. 

Seventh Reunion — "Large in numbers, small in outlay. I believe in 
saving the Class funds for the biggest tenth ever." 

Sinclair, we can't close this tale we have given you without a word of 
high appreciation and thanks again from the Class for all the labors you 
have spent in its interest. There is much travail when a Class book is born. 
You published a book all on your own effort. Besides that, you have greatly 
assisted in this one, entirely out of the goodness of your soul. The editor of 
a Class book who works single handed has a place of ineffable comfort 
prepared for him in realms on high. Just keep that in mind. We thank you. 

The Other Editors, 

For the Class. 

THOMAS PARKER HAMILTON 

(ab) 5832 Washington Boulevard, Austin Station, Chicago, 111. 
(c) Twenty-fifth and Dearborn Streets, Chicago, 111. 

Accounting. Cost accountant for Bauer & Black, manufacturers of 
surgical dressings. 

Born, January 26, 1884. Son of Thomas Wallace Hamilton and Catherine 
Lawrence Hamilton both of Pennsylvania. Prepared at the High 
School, Harrisburg, Pa. A.B., Princeton 1906. Member of the Prince- 
ton Club of Chicago. 

92 



Married Eleanor Lewis Conley, June 29, 1910, at Somerset Heights, Md. 
William Wallace Hamilton born October 11, 1911, at Chicago, 111. 

"Woodrow Wilson, first, last and all the time." A Hamiltonian slogan. 
What's greater than the Republican Party? Princeton University, says Tom, 
and so the slogan. Away with your parties and what not, says he, when you 
have a live man whom you know to vote for. Howsomeever, in spite of being 
a so-called Republican, Tom appears to be very much one of those dissatisfied 
G. O. P.'s who are about ready to kick it into smitherines. He stands for a 
revenue tariff and for the initiative, referendum and recall of all hands. He 
is against woman suffrage. And he lines himself up as "moderately radical". 
He is willing to work for some body who will carry out these things or some 
of them, because even for the straight out Republican party, he canvassed 
votes in his district. 

His sports are bowling, tennis, swimming and boating. His reading has 
been in moderate amount in fiction and economics. 

And now, Tom, how about a "reunion" to add to your list of sports? 
It adds years to a life time. 

DANIEL STEWART HAMMACK 

(a c) 724 American Bank Building, Los Angeles, Cal. 
(b) 5421 Longfellow Street, Los Angeles, Cal. "' 

Lawyer. Junior member of the firm of Hammack & Hammack. 

Born May 11, 1883. Son of Daniel Marion Hammack of Mercer Co., 111., and 
Isabella Stewart Hammack of Oquaka, 111. Prepared at Occidental 
College Academy, Los Angeles. A.B., Occidental College 1905 ; entered 
Princeton fall of 1905; A.B., Princeton 1906. Studied law in his father's 
office and took California Bar examinations. Member of the Princeton 
Club of Southern California. Alumni Weekly subscriber. 

Married Margaret Cleland Fales, June 2, 1910, at Danville, Ky. 

Dan Hammack writes that he is sorry his stay in Princeton was only 
one year and not longer. He went into the law as he had always intended 
to be a lawyer, his grandfather and many relatives being in the profession. 
He intends it to be his life work and thinks it the work best suited for him. 

In some of the red hot elections that have taken place in Los Angeles, 
particularly in the last one when a determined effort was made to elect a 
Socialist mayor, Hammack has assisted in canvassing of votes and in per- 
fecting organization in a non-partisan union, called the Good-Government 
Organization. He has done some speaking in these campaigns. 

A Democrat and a Wilson boomer, he believes in all the new political 
doctrines, including woman suffrage, even if he is a married man. He is a 
free trader in principle. Current fiction, but more of established fiction, 
considerable United States history, and especially the history of California 
have been the subjects of his reading. 

93 



He is active in religious and philanthropic work, being secretary of the 
board of Trustees of the Presbyterian Church. He was on the executive 
committee of the Layman's Missionary Movement in the Los Angeles cam- 
paign and was secretary of the similar Presbyterian Movement. Besides, he 
does a good deal of local settlement work. 

His hobby is camping and tramping in the mountains, especially out to 
a cabin he has built high in the mountains near Los Angeles. One of his 
outside interests is the secretaryship of a building corporation. 

He writes : "I am sorry to say that my distance from the old burg has 
rendered it impossible for me to get back thus far to any reunion. I hope 
to get back one of these days, if not before at least to the Decennial. It's a 
long ways ahead but I am a long ways off. 

"Life has been very hum-drum. Married last year, otherwise the same 
old routine. No chance thus far to get famous. Not many 1906 men come 
this way for some reason. Any and all will be welcomed by me and the 
Princeton bunch here which is strong and active. Some of them are the 
most prominent men in town. I send you a sample program of a Princeton 
gathering. We have several a year like that, monthly lunches, etc. If any 
of the fellows come West, get around. If we didn't know each other in 
college, we can get acquainted." 

If the Princeton Club of Los Angeles is anything like the programme of 
its smokers, there's some life on the Pacific Coast, believe us. Business of 
tigers and fireworks all over the programme and as fine a Stevensonian ballad 
as a bo's'n'd want : 

"Sixteen Studes on Scud's ice chest, 
Yo Ho ! Yo Ho ! and a bucket of suds !" 

Herb Muzzy, Poet. 

ELBERT CLARENCE HARDY 

(ab) Ludington, Mich, 
(c) Anchor Salt Co., Ludington, Mich. 

Salt business. With the Morton Salt Co., superintendent of the 
Anchor Salt Co., Ludington, Mich. 

Born May 22, 1883. Son of Elbert Clark Hardy and Florence Hardy both of 
Rushford, N. Y. Prepared at Central High School, Buffalo, N. Y. 
C.E., Princeton June 1906. Attended first reunion. 

Married Marie Dickson, June 29, 1910, at Ludington, Mich. 

We have always felt that an eminently fitting thing for Clarence was a 
life on the ocean wave. He's got the roll and the swing and the frankness 
and the heartiness of a jolly tar. But if he is not to be the admiral of the 
fleet on the salt sea wave, he is the boss of the saltiest thing on land — the 
Ludington mine of the Anchor Salt Company. (No fair throwing cabbages, 
there, m'hearties. Leave it to Clarence if this isn't a perfectly good little 
ballad on salt.) 

94 



Clarence Hardy was seen around these parts (New York) at the time of 
the big games in the fall (1911) on his way up to New Haven. He was just 
as hearty as ever, and twinkled and laughed and slapped you on the back in 
the same old way. 

"I believe that my work with the football squad was helpful both phy- 
sically and mentally," he writes. He looked it last fall. Hunting and fishing, 
his hobbies, have added to his strength and good health. 

He has kept up much reading in engineering and his special work has 
been in evaporation under vacuum. Circumstances steered him into the 
work he is doing. He likes it greatly. 

One more Republican numbers himself among the adherents of Woodrow 
Wilson. Clarence is for all the new doctrines. 

You are running down for the next reunion, Clarence, didn't we hear you 



ARTHUR HARRIS 

(ab) 119 North Sixth Street, Newark, N. J. 
(c) 828 Prudential Building, Newark, N. J. 
Lawyer. 

Born August 9, 1883. Son of Lawrence Harris of New York City and Maria 
L. Harris of New Brunswick, N. J. Prepared at Newark High School. 
A.B., Princeton 1906; L.L.B., Harvard 1909. 

Arthur Harris plants himself squarely as a conservative ''Republican" and 
shoots holes in the new theories of government, including woman suffrage. 
He tells us that his reading has been in fair amount and in fiction. He 
records that he is a member of the Dutch Reformed Church. 

A jaunt to Princeton for the next reunion, Harry, is recommended by 
all the legal talent we have talked with. Of course, you concur and we shall 
see you at the Seventh.

WOODHULL HAY 

(ab) 164 East Sixty-First Street, New York City 
(c) 52 William Street, New York City 
Lawyer. Managing attorney, associated with Parsons, Clossons, 
and Mcllvaine, New York. 

95 



Born February 8, 1883. Son of Thomas A. Hay and Julia L. Woodhull both 
of Ontario, Canada. Prepared at the Morris High School, New York 
City. A.B., Princeton 1906; L.L.B., Columbia 1909. Has attended first, 
third and fifth reunions. 

Married Elizabeth Barton Valk, December 19, 1907, in New York City. 

Phyllis Sherwood Hay, born December 7, 191 1, in New York City. 

Bill, must we call you Wood now? 

He is calmly and pleasurably pursuing the even tenor of his way, accom- 
plishing what he sets out to accomplish and knowing very definitely what he 
wants to accomplish before he sets out, just as he did in college when he 
ran away with prizes in the classics and saluted the Class in Latin. To begin 
with Bill has hobbies, — a plenty of them — "a baby" for one, "a flute" for 
another, "a camera" for a third. "Have given hostages to fortune by marry- 
ing a wife and begetting a child," he writes. Then in his profession, these are 
only some of the things he had gone after : "Have read considerably in 
international law. Have compiled an article for regular issue of Tnterna- 
tional Conciliation'." Of special legal study, he has looked into "Code Prac- 
tice in New York State". And his general reading has been much, in inter- 
national law, history, poetry and classic fiction. Bully work, Bill, we know 
now the Class is safe intellectually when its intellectual giants begin to turn 
their big guns on the world of learning. Bill's systematic development does 
not stop here, however. We remember Gymnast Hay of the trapezes and 
other various apparatus gymnastic. Long walks and winter sports have 
succeeded to the place of affection these others held in college. But Bill 
writes of his gymnasium and other college athletic work — "Good results. 
Recognize reserve energy and recuperative power." Politically he is a con- 
servative Republican and is true to his beliefs, for he stands for President 
7'aft for reelection and speaks for conservative handling of the corporations 
by defining the limits of their activity and likewise a conservatively gradual 
reduction of the protective tariff. He takes no active part in politics.

ber of the Princeton Club of St. Louis.

MATTHEW COWDEN HAYES 

(a) Box 3, Niagara Falls, N. Y. 

(b) 25 Culp Street, Niagara Falls, Ontario 

(c) Care of the Ontario Power Co., Niagara Falls, Ontario 

Engineer. Assistant to engineer-in-charge of the Ontario Power 
Co. of Niagara Falls. 

Born September 8, 1885. Son of Alfred Hayes and Mary Van Valzeh Hayes 
both of Lewisburg, Pa. Prepared at the Mohegan Lake School. B.S., 
Princeton 1906; S.B., in electrical engineering, Massachusetts Institute 
of Technology, 1908. 

Married Emma Aldin Nesbit, June 12, 191 1, at Lewisburg, Pa. 

Matt planned out a life in electrical engineering before he entered 
Princeton. He is now living in Canada engaged in important electrical engi- 
neering work there. He writes of the land, 'A growing country of unlimited 
possibilities." He has travelled widely in England, Scotland and the Conti- 
nent as well as at home, so he has good basis for comparison. From over the 
border line he throws a voice for Woodrow Wilson for the presidency, even 
if he can't throw a vote. In his professional work, he is making a special 
study of the finance of corporations and business systems. He canoes and 
plays tennis. 

WILLSON HAZARD 

(ac) Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, 108 East 
Lexington Street, Baltimore, Md. 

Engineer. In the outside plant of the Chesapeake and Potomac 
Telephone Company, the Bell Telephone System, at Baltimore. 

Born November 22, 1884. Son of Harry W. Hazard and Catharine D. Will- 
son Hazard. Prepared at Nolley's School, Richmond, Va. B.S., Prince- 
ton, 1906. Member of the Princeton Club of New York. Subscribes 
to the Alumni Weekly. Has attended all the reunions. 

A side-Hght on the reunion spirit of Wills Hazard: 

Baltimore, June 3, 1912. 

Dear Sam: Postponed answering the reunion notice in hopes that I 
might get away, but I'm afraid it's not to be. Came down here about six 
weeks ago as engineer and have not got things fixed up yet so that I can 
get away easily. It's the first one I've missed, too. Wills. 

Another side-light: same subject: 

"Think that our fifth reunion was the best yet and particularly favor the 
idea of having a class dining-room where all hands can eat together. Also 
favor keeping our Fifth reunion costumes, as being distinctive of '06, just as 
the Highland costume is distinctive of '04." 

97 



Willson is one of our absolutely certain reunioners. 

In his business, he had been with the New York Telephone Company in 
New York City for a long period before he went into his new place in 
Baltimore last April. He has been studying electrical engineering in connec- 
tion with his business. 

We add you, Willson, to the roster of the 1906 Amateur Sailing Society 
and Yacht Club. Other members so far are Ethan Butler and Sandy Ether- 
ington. May find more before we get through the list. You qualify because 
of this : "Member of any organization : Yes, a yacht club, where I do a good 
deal of boat racing and play tennis in the summer." 

He is for Woodrow Wilson and calls himself a "Radical", though he has 
no convictions either for or against woman suffrage. 

RUNKLE FISHER HEGEMAN 

(a) New Germantown, New Jersey 
(b c) Nursery and Child's Hospital, Sixty-first Street and Tenth 
Avenue, New York City 

Resident Physician. 

Born February 21, 1885. Son of S. J. Hegeman and A. F. Hegeman, both of 
New Jersey. Prepared at Lehigh Prep, and Lehigh University. A.B., 
Princeton 1906; M.D., Johns Hopkins 1910. 

Doc Hegeman lets loose a boom. 
"Choice for President — Sammy Reid." 

This explains it. Our Jackson got out a Httle while ago to barnstorm his 
election district for the captaincy. He saw this boom coming and wanted to 
have a backing. Some one else was elected district captain. Perchance, some 
one else may get the Presidency. But wait until Woodrow is finished, 
Doctor, and we are with you in your boom. 

Doc Hegeman makes the great admission: "In the five and a half years 
since leaving Princeton, I have made exactly $12.00, — no more." That's 
enough, Doc. Who wants to be bothered taking care of money anyway? 

"Our reunions have been good ones. I have no suggestions or criticisms 
to offer," he writes. 

Selection of his profession was "circumstances, I guess." He plays tennis 
at every chance. He had a chance to cure himself of scarlet fever. Anyway, 
he was cured, for which we are thankful.

(b) 135 Madison Avenue, New York City 

(c) 27 William Street, New York City 

Lawyer. In the office of Burlingham, Montgomery & Beecher. 

Born November 4, 1885. Son of John Handy Henshaw of Utica, N. Y,, and 
Jessie Allen Henshaw. Prepared at Berkeley School, New York City. 
Left Princeton, Spring of 1903. A.B., Harvard 1907; LL.B., Harvard 
1909. 

In his law work, he has devoted more study to surrogate's practice and 
estate matters than anything else so far. In politics, he is a Republican, 
and he stands against the initiative, woman suffrage and allied doctrines. 
He is a member of Squadron A of the New York National Guard and gets 
as much tennis and riding in the summer as he can. He is a Big Brother 
and likes the fun of it. He is interested in the East Side Mission House 
among his religious and philanthropic endeavors and is a member of the 
Episcopal Church. These are his special interests. 

HARRISON SAYRE HIGBIE 

(ab) 1013 Broad Street, Newark, N. J. 
(c) Care of James R. Sayre & Co., Newark, N. J. 

Mason material business. Doing general work with James R. 
Sayre & Co., dealers in mason material. 

Born January 19, 1886. Son of Jamesi S. Higbie and Mary T. Higbie. Pre- 
pared at Newark Academy. B.S., Princeton 1906. Member of the 
Princeton Club of Newark. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Has 
attended all reunions. 

His present work, Hig intends to make a life job. Enrolled as a Re- 
publican, he favors Taft as next president, thinks that competition and cor- 
porations should be regulated by court license and control, believes in a 
tariff for revenue and states that he is not interested in woman suffrage. He 
has studied chemistry since leaving college and has done considerable reading 
of history, science and fiction. Tennis claims most of his sporting attention. 

He is on the board of deacons of the Presbyterian church of which he 
is a member and is interested in the "Men and Religion Forward Movement". 
The man that is down and needs a boost, gets a friendly hand from H. S. 
Higbie that nobody else ever hears of. He has visited about ten states of 
this country and travelled in Europe. 

He writes regarding reunions : "Thought that our last reunion was very 
successful and would favor continuing along the same general lines." He 
favors a small seventh reunion. It is hardly necessary to add that Hig has 
been a most faithful devotee and promoter of all reunions, big and little.

Hig has done valuable service for Princeton in his work in the Princeton 
Club of Newark. He is one of its most active workers and has taken special 
interest in the movement to attract schoolboys to Princeton. 



WILLIAM WARREN HILDRETH 

(a) Southampton, Long Island, N. Y. 
(b c) Roosevelt Hospital, West Fifty-ninth Street, New York 
City 

Physician and Surgeon. Surgical interne at Roosevelt Hospital, 
New York. 

Born February 7, 1884, Son of Harry Hildreth and Mary Hildreth. Prepared 
at Southampton High School. A.B., Princeton 1906; M.D., Columbia. 

Warren Hildreth is another of our hard working doctors. Yes, doctors 
really work. They don't even get time to read. "Much time reading since 
graduation? No — only grind." But tennis and skating and automobiling do 
come in for a little attention as time allows. And he is going tO' take a bit 
of time off in November to cast a vote for W. H. Taft. 



FREDERICK STUBBINS HILL 

(a b c) Stockwell, Indiana 

Banking. Cashier in State Bank of Stockwell, Ind. 

Born March 4, 1884. Son of Rodney Hill of Addison, New York, and Mary 
E. Stubbins Hill of Somersetshire, England. Entered Princeton from 
the University of Iowa. A.B., Princeton 1906. Subscribes to the 
Alumni Weekly. Attended the third reunion. 

Married Emma Rasmuson, July 15, 1908, at Britt, Iowa. 

Frederick Stubbins Hill, Jr., born March 13, 191 1, at Britt, la. 

Fred writes : "Nothing very unusual has happened to me since I got out 
of college. I have had some success in the banking business here and like 
all the rest of us, I am hoping for better things after a while. 

"I think the reunions are very satisfactory as they are arranged at 
present, I was unable to be there last year but expect to come East this 
June and in 1913. While I am no singer, I believe that at reunions there 
should be as much of this as possible by the class." 

Fred has a lot of fun outside of banking hours, "playing tennis in summer 
and hunting rabbits in winter." He is one of the old school who haven't given 
up Dickens and Thackeray for Arnold Bennett in his fiction. Formerly a 
Republican, he is now a Democrat and is for Woodrow Wilson. He believes 
in a Federal charter for corporations. 

Glad you are coming on for the Seventh, Fred.

ROGER HINDS 

(ab) 234 St. Anne's Road, Richmond Hill, L. I. 
(c) 115 Broadway, New York City 

Lawyer. Member of the firm of Shaffer, Howell & Hinds. 

Born October 9, 1886. Son of Arthur Hinds of Cold Spring-on-Hudson, N. 
Y., and Helen Nash Hinds of Williamsburg, Mass. Prepared at the 
Richmond Hill High School, N. Y. A.B., Princeton 1906; admitted to 
the New York Bar October 1908; LL.B., New York Law School 1909. 
Recently resigned after five years in the Princeton Club of New York. 
Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Has attended all reunions. 

Great Heavens, Roger ! What's all this about your being a Socialist, or 
fast becoming one! Hold on, wait a minute, give us a little time tO' get off 
some of these other crowding notes of interest in the budget of news you 
fling at us, before springing a big story like that right in the opening sentence. 
We'll rattle them off just as fast as we can as you fire them at us, beginning 
with Number One. Ready, go ! 

First of all — "Engaged to Miss Mary Bates, Smith 1906, of East Orange, 
N. J." Heartiest congratulations, long life, prosperity and happiness ! And 
when is the best day of all to come? We felt that something like this was in 
the air, the minute we read your monograph on reunions — "Have wives, best 
girls, children, etc., (we love that 'etc.,' Roger, probably standing for mother- 
in-laws) on some one occasion ('one' carefully underscored) each reunion, in 
tent to keep up manners and ideals." 

Next. Congratulations on your good work upon Messrs. Shaffer and 
Howell. And now you are a member of the firm ! Fine work, Rog ! Who 
ever thought you studied calculus for nothing anyway, in college. Your 
position as secretary and member of the board of trustees of the Lutheran 
Hospital of Manhattan, as well as their counsel, is another little occasion for 
congratulations. 

We note as asides that you taught school two years and tutored two 
summers in college and college entrance subjects and that your reading has 
been of a moderate amount in fiction, but more in political and economic 
subjects. In sports you must get busy to be an all round star. Bowling a 
little and tennis a few times a year are not sufficient to measure up to the 
rest of the list. 

Hobbies. Why of course? Here's just one of them: "Talk 'short ballot' 
to anyone who will let me. Crank on lots of theories, but don't practice any 
of them." Country saved, Roger, old boy, in those last five words. We can 
now approach your threatened Socialism with real equanimity. Our breath is 



hushed nevertheless. "I am a Democrat," says Rog, "but only to enable me to 
vote at primaries. Fast becoming SOCIALIST." He is willing to postpone his 
marriage to the Red», however, until after he casts his vote for Woodrow, 
as a Radical. And even this is a surprise, for we thought you were a Roose- 
velt man through and through. It must be the reunion spirit in you again. 
The recall and its hand maidens are "only temporary remedies". Woman 
suffrage is all right, but here looms the black pall of the Socialist, "Govern- 
ment ownership of all production and distribution of necessities." 

We appreciate this little opportunity of adding our paean, Roger, and 
have enjoyed immensely your refreshing circular. Write us again. And 
when we meet at the next reunion, please don't be too much overawed by 
your suggestions for reunions of "less vulgarity and 'rough-necking'," thou 
sweet singer and composer of that merrie young ballad that made the welkin 
ring so lustily at the fifth reunion, entitled, "Down in the . . . " — no, we 
have forgotten the title just now for publication. 

RAYMOND CLARENCE HOAG 

(a) Ballston Lake, N. Y. 
- (b c) Charlton, N. Y. 

Ministry. Pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Charlton, N. Y. 
Born January 26, 1883. Son of Frederick A. Hoag of Niles, Mich., and Ida 
V. Hayes Hoag of Philadelphia. Prepared at Blair Academy. B.A., 
Princeton 1906. 

"Not yet but soon" we shall be hearing of Ray Hoag's marriage, hq, 
promises. Best wishes, Ray! The manse of the Presbyterian Church at 
Charlton is all ready, we hear, and the only remaining thing is the announce- 
ment cards. Ray breezes through his record list in entertaining style. 

"I accepted the charge of the Presbyterian Church at Charlton last May 
(1911), was ordained on the field and have been working here ever since. I 
do not occupy the manse at present but hope to at some near date. I had 
been working at Penn and the Princeton Seminary till last May, preaching 
and teaching on the side. During this time I believe that I have increased 
in wisdom and stature (horizontal) and in favor with myself at least. 

"I do not think that a minister should specialize for the first decade or so. 
Reading has been principally in economics and sociology with fiction as a 
mental cathartic. Graduated at the Princeton Theological Seminary and did 
graduate work in English two' years at the University of Pennsylvania. 

"Interested in social work, boys' work, etc., but the people here are too 
scattered to work it well. In foreign mission work, we raised $400 last year." 

As for athletics, Ray considers himself in better training than the New 
Jersey commuter in his daily sprint. "My parish is 6 by 4 miles," he writes, 
"and 'calls' afoot in winter, a-wheel in summer, furnish plenty of regular 
activity in sport, thank you. I root at everything I can get to, in sport. 

"Good or bad effects from athletics in college — I had carbuncles on my 
feet from Sunday walks to Rocky Hill and Penn's Neck if that answers the 
question." 

102 



He writes of politics : "No partisan work, but preach in the interests of 
Good Citizenship, etc." He is a Progressive Republican, undecided at the 
time of writing as to Presidential choice, progressive to the extent of the 
Democratic revenue tariff, to a certain extent for the initiative, etc., and for 
v/oman suffrage. 

AMOS NATHAN HOAGLAND 

(a) Oxford, N. J. 
(be) The Princeton Work in Peking, Peking, China 

Physical Director. In charge of the physical work of "The Prince- 
ton Work in China" at Peking. 

Prepared at Blair Academy. B.A., Princeton, February 1907. In manufac- 
turing work and later in engineering work in South America after 
leaving college. Left for Peking, November 191 1. 

Married Nelle Madeline La Bar, March 9, 1910, at Mount Pocono, Pa. 

Who are we to essay to write your history, Amos? How can we, cold 
creatures of the common-place, the material, glide back into the spirit of 
your days of romance and poetry in college, and touch with our brushes 
arightly that Augustan age of song? We pick up with trembling though 
profane hands those memorable "Selections from the Poetical Writings of 
Ame Hoagland and Don Scott, The Student Bards" and are lost in the 
dreamland of reveries awakened in the tender poems "Rubbered Again ; Or 
Stung Once More, a ballad of Coney Isle," or "Within the Palace of My 
Heart" or "The Maid of Komochee". But this little verse, Amos, is the gem 
of them all and the ring of it we would re-echo out to you : 
"All cares disappear. 

As I wander with thee; 

Stay thou ever near, 

Sweet friend, Memory." 

A. N. H. 

And so we remember the years after college, a time that flew by in a 
whirl of quickness, kaleidoscopic years, when we saw little of you. You 
were away to lands of romance and carefree adventure in South America. 
You climbed through jungles and were caught in traps by tribesmen and 
some of your men were killed in the fighting. You cut your way out and 
then were back with us in New York last year (191 1). There was a change 
in your philosophy. The delight of mixing with men, the appeal of helping 
the man that needed help, your fighting devotion to the weaker and the joy 
of being with boys and getting into the fun of their athletics, these things 
stirred in you and the physical directorship at Peking attracted. 

We feel honored that you have thus brought more glory to the Class 
and that the Class should have thus brought forth a man to represent it in 
the big work ahead in the renewal of old China.

Amos and Mrs. Hoagland sailed from San Francisco on November 7, 
191 1. They stayed in Shanghai until the early part of this year (1912) when 
they went up to Peking. China was in the hottest of its revolution. It was only 
a few days after their arrival in the capital of the Manchus, that the wave 
of mutiny swept over the city through the ranks of the troops that set the 
city blazing in spots and the looters rifling through the shops killing the 
shopkeepers. With Gailey, the Hoaglands helped shelter the Republican 
delegates from the South who came stealing over the walls of the "Princeton 
Work" compound to get under the protection of Bob Gailey and out of the 
hands of the murdering troopers. There were stirring times those days last 
spring in Peking. 

We can see Amos now with his Chinese teacher conversing as though 
he had spoken Chinese all his life. Reports from China have it that he has 
passed the best examinations in the early language courses that have been 
seen in Peking in a long time and that he is "remarkably fluent". Rumor has 
it that he has already written three poems in "wen-li" the classical written 
language, the height of a Chinese scholar's ambition. Language study will be 
the main part of his programme for some time. The big building is on its 
way up in the Celestial City and Amos is going right ahead with his classes 
in sports and in physical development for the boys and young men of the 
student type. His word is brief. "Have large gym classes. Am studying 
Chinese. Like it immensely. Am growing very fond of China." 

You've got a great job out there in the land of Cathay, Amos, at the 
threshold of the making of a new nation, the most wonderful in Asia. You 
are at the heart of the country. We are looking for big things from yoai 
among the boys and the youth of the land. And we know that you will accom- 
plish much above our expectations so that when we look upon the gloriously 
strong China of 50 years hence, we can say 1906 and Amos Hoagland were 
much in the making of it. 



LAWRENCE ST. JOHN HOBBIE 

(ab) 315 Sixth Avenue, Newark, N. J. 
(c) 183 Market Street, Newark, N. J. 

Typewriter business. In business for himself operating State 
agency for the Royal Standard Typewriter. 

Born March 22, 1882. Son of Reeve Hobbie of Washington, D. C, and 
Emma St. John Hobbie of New York City. Prepared at Newark 
Academy. Member of the Princeton Club of Newark. Has attended 
all the reunions. 

When a man has been a regular at reunions he knows what he is talking 
about, we take it, when he says "in my opinion, the reunions are O. K." With 
Lawrence Hobbie, you couldn't keep him away from a reunion, if he sighted 

104 



one across the continent. He knows from experience how good they are. 
That is why he likes them. 

"One of the happiest incidents since graduation I experienced occurred 
November 12, 191 1 at New Haven, when the champions 'came back'/' writes 
Lawrence, and you can fairly hear him chuckling. This, you poor married 
people, is why we stay bachelors. How do you know how to get the suprem- 
est delight out of a football victory any more? Yet we fear that Lawrence 
St. John may join you pretty soon. One of his hobbies hints of it. Besides 
reading, tennis and billiards, he does enjoy "a little fussing", and the "not 
yet" of his answer to marriage query sounds expectant. This fussing, how- 
ever, may be simply the experimental part of his intellectual hobby "psycho- 
logical subjects". "Professor Ormond got me in the habit and I never 
quit," he writes. In his business, he has made a special study of the difficult 
art of salesmanship, having taken several courses. His reading is along the 
lines of psychology and philosophy. He is a member of the Glenwood 
Tennis Club of Orange and proved his name as a billiardist in winning the 
billard tournament at the Roseville Athletic Association. He is secretary of 
the Men's League of his church. 

"Choice for President! Why ask? Wilson of course." You can't be 
very heavily for that protective tariff you want, Lawrence, But sentiment 
downs principle in all our best families these days. 

FRANK JILLARD HOEN 

(ab) "Mount Ararat Farm", Lonely, Baltimore Co., Maryland 
(c) 213 Courtland Street, Baltimore, Md. 

Lawyer. Associated with firm of Willis & Homer, Baltimore. 

Born April 2.(), 1885. Son of Frank D. Hoen and Lily L. Hyde Hoen, both 
of Baltimore, Md. Prepared at Deichmann's Preparatory School, Bal- 
timore. A.B., Princeton 1906; L.L.B., University of Maryland. Mem- 
ber of the Maryland Alumni Association of Princeton University. 

In politics, Frank is a Democrat, and a follower of Woodrow Wilson. 
He has helped the Democratic organization by house to house canvasses and 
by presiding at mass meetings, etc., and has also raised money for campaign 
funds. He is a believer in government supervision of corporations, a tariff 
for revenue, and the initiative referendum and recall except of judges. To 
woman suffrage he is unalterably opposed. 

His chief sports since graduation have been tennis, baseball, horseback 
riding and fishing. His hobby is farming, and he has put a good deal of 
study on farming problems. His special study within his profession has been 
the length of the chancellor's foot, or as it is more popularly known — equity. 
His chief reading has been in American history and economics. 

He writes that he suffered no ill effects from his two years on the 
varsity scrub, except a bad knee which bothers him at times. In all other 
respects he is in the best of condition.

ROSSITER HOLBROOK 

(a c) 366 Fifth Avenue, New York City 
(b) Ossining, New York 

Publisher, Vice-president of the Isolated Plant Publishing Co., 
which publishes a technical journal. 

Born October 19, 1883. Prepared at Dr. Holbrook's School. Graduated 
Princeton 1907. 

The name of the publication Ross runs, — The Isolated Plant Magazine — 
gives you the key directly to what his faith is in politics. He is ag'in the 
trusts, pure and simple, if they work so that an isolated engineering or other 
plant doesn't have a fair chance. Ross is therefore something of a crusader. 
He urges the advisability upon manufacturing establishments, hotels and the 
like of having their own power and light developing plants, independent 
of the big public monopolies. Thus his answers : "Unlimited competition in 
business — Yes, Government supervision of corporations. Completely where 
interstate. Tariff — ^revenue." Ross is for "Teddy". But look out, Ross, 
don't let him know you are against the initiative and its jolly young com- 
panions. You might slip into the Ananias Club. 

"Have done editorial work in connection with our publication and have 
spoken before engineering societies on various subjects," he writes and adds 
that he is making a special study of mech^mical engineering, and has read 
much along economic and social lines. Water sports in the summer fill out 
his cup of enjoyment. 

Like to see you at the next reunion, Ross. 

EDWARD PACKARD HOLDEN. JR. 

(a) 251 Woodland Road, Madison, N. J. 

(b) Fullerton, La. 

Estate management. In charge of an estate. 

Born January 9, 1884. Son of Edward P. Holden and Ella Cebra Holden. 
Prepared at Lawrenceville. A.B., Princeton 1906. Member of the 
Princeton Club of New York. Has been a regular attendant at 
reunions. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. 

Circumstances dictated Ted's present employment and he does not intend 
to make it his life work. He is a public office holder in no less a capacity 
than that of member of the Madison Hose Co. No. i, to which position hear 
ye all, he was regularly elected and confirmed by the city council. Interested 
in political work, he is on the general committee to get out the vote in his 
district. 

He favors Taft for president and is a conservative Republican. Yet he 
vvants a tariff for revenue. He endorses partial supervision of corporations 

106 



by the Government. His general reading has been along the lines of the 
history of social conditions. Golf, tennis and baseball are the sports in 
which he actively engages. 

He is secretary of the Men's Club of his church, teacher in the Sunday 
School and is interested in the anti-tuberculosis movement. Has travelled 
extensively in Canada and Europe. 

Ted has evidently changed his work since the above. He had to miss 
the 1912 reunion party, the first he has been away from. So he sent this 
telegram. 

FuUerton, La., June 8, 1912. 
Samuel J. Reid, 1906 Headquarters, Princeton, N. J., 

Greetings to the Glorious Class of 1906. Terribly disappointed not to get 
up for the sexennial. Am down here with the Standard Alcohol Company. 
Will try to have the plant running by next June or possibly for the mid- 
winter Class dinner. Nineteen-six celebrates here to-night.

GEORGE ANTHONY HOPKINS 

(a c) 2y William Street, New York City 
(b) 600 West One Hundred and Fifteenth Street, New York 
City 

Lawyer. Practicing for himself at 2"] William Street, N. Y. C. 

Born July 13, 1883. Son of Edward Thomas Hopkins and Mary A. Moran 
Hopkins, both of New York. Prepared at St. Mary's Institute, Ams- 
terdam, N. Y. Litt.B., Princeton 1907; L.L.B., New York Law School. 

Married Beatrice T. Morrison, June i, 191 1, at New York City. 
George A. Hopkins, Jr., born April 29, 1912. 

George has opened an office of his own, and every morning, so reports 
have it, a long line of clients can be seen waiting before his door. Moreover 
he is taking a special course and is now daily working up and developing a 
knowledge of corporation law with a view to making this a specialty. 

In addition to his legal work he has had time to prepare and deliver many 
political speeches, memorial addresses, lectures upon Ireland, — a country in 
whose welfare and future he takes a tremendous interest — Fourth of July 
Orations, etc. He has also written essays and short stories which have 
appeared in various magazines. 

As an enrolled Democrat he has shown an active interest in politics 
writing many personal letters to friends and acquaintances, urging their 
support, calling upon them, and seeing that they register and vote. In addi- 
tion he has given his services at primaries, listened to the spellbinders, and 
on several occasions acted as a spellbinder himself. 

In his political views, he describes himself as a conservative and a Wilson 
man. He believes in allowing corporate advancement under the full light 

107 



of publicity and in a protective tariff, (Note — Can these views be the effect 
of corporation law?) 

His reading since graduation has been along legal and economic lines 
and the sports in which he has engaged have been chiefly boxing, skating, 
golfing and bowling. 

He writes : "Since graduation have taken unto myself a wife, a diploma 
to practice law, an office of my own with a rattling good practice, a wonderful 
home and the best of health and Solomon in all his glory has nothing on me. 
I am a thorough enthusiast as to the past and an optimistic believer in the 
future." 

George, what can stop you, we should like to know?

A.B., Princeton 1906. Local Princeton Club member? — "None here 

yet." 
Married Maybelle A. Greenwood, December 5, 191 1, at St. Johnsbury Center, 

Vermont. 

We read in your record sheet, Hov, the assurance and the fast set 
determination of the man who knows what he wants politically. You work 
for a great corporation. We should like to know whether it is because of 
that or in spite of it that you want government supervision of corporations 
"to the limit". There isn't a bit of hesitation in your answer "Yes", to the 
initiative, referendum and recall of officers and judges, nor to the same 
reply regarding "woman suffrage". And your answers carry the conviction 
that you believe in them not as a fad, but because you feel that something 
of this sort is necessary. This is explained later on in your answer that you 
are a "Radical" and particularly that your choice for next president is "the 
socialist nominee". 

His work, says Hov, is wholly a result of circumstances. He has travelled 
in 25 states, "looking for a place to get hold and on pleasure". 

We wish you could be with the Class for the Seventh reunion. Greetings !

Engineer and Assistant Secretary. With the Queensboro Corpor- 
ation. 

Born November 8, 1884. Son of Frank Howard Howe and Ella Ray Howe. 
Prepared at Friends School, Washington, D. C. C.E., Princeton 1906, 
Member of the Princeton Club of New York. Attended third and 
fifth reunions. 

Ray chose his line of work but his particular job was more a matter of 
circumstances. Since graduation he has read a scattered assortment with 
quite a dash of economies and fiction. Has studied more or less, business 
management, law, finance and technical engineering problems. 

Politically he is a "conservative" Republican, — favoring Roosevelt! He 
stands for government supervision of corporations by commission, tariff for 
revenue, but deserts the Moose's trail when it comes to woman suffrage, 
and the initiative, referendum and recall. 

Ray has no hobbie and apparently wants none, but is interested in a lot 
of general questions. 

Editor's Note — By way of raising the average of the Class' appearance, 
Ray has grown the finest moustache in captivity in the East — either Louis 
Quinze or Renaissance.

Married Edith Seymour Speed, November lo, 1910, at Jamaica, N. Y. 

Here's a regular joke. Bill Hoyt, one time Tiger editor, artist, wit, 
perpetrates another on6 on us. "I'm developing into a hard-shelled grouch," 
says Bill. "No hobbies". Even if you had one, Bill, no one would ever 
believe you — the penalty of the joker. But come on, men of 1906, listen to 
what Bill is, does and says. 

He is "Amen leader" in the Methodist Church. 

He engages moderately in bridge, as one of his sports, but is very pro- 
f?cient "in strap hanging" as his real athletic pastime. 

He is decidedly interested in Hawaii. Why? "Because they say you 
can live there without working." Start an emigration bureau. Bill, we're 
with you and thanks for the tip. 

He feels good effects from his college athletics which were "golf, baseball 
and cheering section". 

He is "for woman suffrage as a theory", wants only corporations that 
have monopolies in life-necessities supervised and was for Justice Hughes for 
President last May. 

Bill, there's an awfully good chance to live without working in a 
reunion tent for two or three days at least next year. Postpone Hawaii a 
year or so.

Princeton 1906; M.D., Columbia 1910. Member of the Princeton Club 

of Newark. Attended the first and fifth reunions. 
Married Mary Gertrude Eagan June 10, 1909, in Philadelphia. 

Mary C. Ill, born April 6, 1910. 

Julia M. Ill, born June 20, 191 1. 

Ed is not sure whether choice or circumstance dictated his work as a 
doctor but those who know him tell you that the strong tradition for medi- 
cine in the family was in his blood and he could never have been satisfied 
doing anything else. And rumor in high quarters in Newark has it, we are 
told, that the splendid success Ed has had in his private practice has fully 
demonstrated the value of having the skill of a family tradition living in your 

no 



veins. The study of medicine and its practice has taken up all his time and he 
has specialized in "kidney functions and their diagnosis". He is urologist in 
St. Michael's Hospital and assistant gynecologist in St. Barnabas Hospital, 
Newark. Gunning and fishing are his sports. His special interest outside of 
business is, he writes, "Heating bottles for my baby daughter at 3 a. m." 

He has visited most of the continental countries and spent seven months 
studying at Berlin. As for reunions, he thinks that meals should be served 
in the tent and says that an effort should be made for every man to come 
back for reunion and not as a guide for visitors. 

Ed is a conservative Republican. He believes in Government supervision 
of corporations and a tariff for revenue — the latest conservative Republican 
doctrine. He is opposed to the initiative, referendum and recall, as well as 
woman suffrage. Always an advocate of pure food, not forgetting pure 
drink, he starts a new party of his own with Dr. Wiley for President 

JOHN RANKIN IRWIN*

Married Florence V. Johnstone, July 7, 1909, at Keokuk. 

HARRY MATTHEWS JACK* 

(a) Bradford, Pa. 
Lawyer. (1909) 

JAMES KENNEY JACKSON 

(a) 117 Chestnut Street, Harrisburg, Pa. 

Lawyer. Until June 19 12, studying law at Dickinson Law School. 

Born September 26, 1885. Son of Edwin Wallace Jackson of Newport, Pa., 
and Frances Speise Jackson of Maryville Mills, Pa. Prepared at the 
Harrisburg High School. B.A., Princeton 1906. Finished his last 
year at Dickinson Law School in June 1912. Subscribes to the Alumni 
Weekly. 

Jimmie Jackson was a regular old stude up to June of this year, 1912, 
and had all kinds of a gay time at it. The following is an extract from his 
letter : 

"There is nothing stirring in my life particularly. Taught at Kiskiminetas, 
at Harrisburg Academy, and Barrington Hall (Girls' School). (How did you 
escape, Jimmie?) Have worked for the Pennsylvania State Health Depart- 
ment and the Bell Telephone Company. A fine time at Dickinson. President of 
the Junior Law Class. Phi Delta Theta. Enjoyed trip with the musical clubs 
this winter and bluffed them into letting me sing first tenor." 

Ill 



Besides, this, he played fullback on the Dickinson scrub team, season of 
1911. 

He chose the law for his profession and is finally putting it through 
now, though he writes : "I have been driven away several times." When he 
wrote in April, he was expecting to graduate from Dickinson in June. As 
for special interests all his own, Jimmie springs at least one original hobby 
among these three — "Aquatics, singing and collecting pipes". From his swim- 
ming in Princeton, he feels only the best effects, — contrary to the findings of 
Walter Brunswick. He is interested in church work and helps out in his 
church as librarian of the Sunday School. Jimmie's politics are a set of 
his own and of a few more men who have answered these questions, and 
have showed plainly how far they are ready to kick the old standpat Re- 
publican party into oblivion. He is a Republican who believes in the pecu- 
liarly Republican doctrines of free trade, the initiative, referendum and recall 
and Woodrow Wilson. 

Come to the Seventh, Jimmie, and let that Dickinson tenor voice of 
yours have free play.

SYLVESTER JOHNSON, JR. 

(a) 1617 N. Meridian Street, Indianapolis, Ind. 

(b) Perry Avenue and River, Indianapolis, Ind. 

Engineer. With the New Wrecking Co.^, which does construction 
work and wrecking. 

Born August 5, 1882. Son of Endorns M. Johnson ,and Minnie Leitch 
Johnson. Prepared at the Shortridge High School. C.E., Princeton 
1906. Member Princeton Club of Indiana. Attended first and second 
reunions. 

From what Bud writes, we infer that in the selection of his business, 
he was some choosey and some lucky. Wherefore it goes without saying 
that it is best suited to him. 

Politically he seems to be open to offers. He votes regularly, carefully 
avoiding however any further reference to methods of IndianapoHs balloting, 
which T. Roosevelt thought so gentle and polite last spring. In the town of 
Mayor Shanks, The Beautiful, where everybody takes a crack at politics, Bud 
describes himself with a certain degree of pride as a "ward healer" and 
'■precinct committeeman". But pray, of what party. Bud? Wanted — ^By a 
bright young man with native political sagacity, a party. A chance here for 
some rich political canvasser. Especially, is this interesting for at our first 
glance over Bud's record, we saw in large black type, this bold design, "For 
revenue only". Naturally we were somewhat startled, yea, shocked — after 
observing the above open-mindedness as to party. 

Bud stands for unlimited competition in business and restricted corpora- 
tions. He is an initiative-referendum-recaller, but no believer in political 
equality of the sexes. 

Bud scorned to answer the question about exercise, probably thinking 
that his job of building and wrecking made such an answer superfluous. 
The "interesting feature since graduation" was a trip to New York with 
Lil Goldsborough. The broadmindedness of the New York police "System" 
accounts no doubt for Bud's safe return to Indianapolis.

ROBERT HARRISON JONES, JR. 

(ac) 611-613 Third National Bank Building, Atlanta, Ga. 
(b) Corner Adair and Highland Avenues, Atlanta, Ga. 
Lawyer. Practising; in business for himself. 

Born June 7, 1884. Son of Robert Jones of Liberty County, Ga., and Susan 
G. Jones of Fayetteville, N. C. Prepared at the Boy's High School, 
Atlanta, Ga. B.A., Princeton 1906; L.L.B,, University of Georgia, 
1908. Member of the Princeton Alumni Association of Atlanta. Sub- 
scribes to the Alumni Weekly. 
Married Kate Waldo, November 5, 1910, at Atlanta, Ga. 

Albigence Waldo Jones, born February 25, 1912, at Atlanta. 
The hustling newspaper man of Princeton days, president of the Press 
Club, and star reporter, left the honorable profession of letters as soon as 
ever he could after college and has taken up with that crew that follows the 
law. He appears to be as hustling as ever in this and now that Albigence 
Waldo J. has arrived we very much fear that more than business engage- 
ments will keep our counsellor away from coming reunions. But then again, 
he may surprise us. 

Bob is a Democrat. He has done work for the party in personal can- 
vassing and at the polls. We expect he will do more this year, because 
Woodrow gets his vote straight off. He did one piece of lobbying politics 
of which he should be justly proud when in 1908 he was chairman of a 
committee from the University of Georgia which secured from the State 
Legislature a special appropriation of $10,000 to renovate "Old College", He 
does not believe in woman suffrage nor categorically answered, in the initia- 
tive and its accompaniments. He believes in allowing corporations full swing 
for combination. His reading has been in fiction and in sociology. An occa- 
sional hunt varies work but his real sport and hobby is in real estate manipu- 
lations which sounds rather remunerative, Bobbie. Good luck ! 

WILLIAM ANSLEY JONES, JR. 

(a.) Mineral Point, Wis. 
(be) Palmerton, Pa. 
Zinc business. Assistant chief in the smelter department, New 

Jersey Zinc Co. 
Born October 13, 1883. Son of John A. Jones of Stav, Wales and Sarah H. 
Jones of Linden, Wis. Prepared at Lawrenceville. Left Princeton, 
1904. Attended the third and fifth reunions. 
What is more natural than to see in your mind's eye a baseball scooting 
off into left garden for a home run hit, the minute Bill Jones is mentioned. 
(That will cost you only five dollars. Bill.) But it is a fact none the less 
that the Qass wept when you left us in 1904 and our constellation of baseball 
lights was broken into. 

114 



Yes, he still plays ball. Also, would you believe it, squash and tennis ! 
Pneumonia to the second degree or twice-told is another little diversion he 
has had. In his work, which he chose but may not stay in, he has kept an 
eye out for new things in the zinc line in the trade papers. He is a Republi- 
can for President Taft, believing in a high protective tariff and unlimited 
competition but against woman suffrage and the rest of the new ideas. 

He is interested in the Boy Scouts. 

HENRY CHRISTIAN KAHLER 

(ab) 998 Main Street, Buffalo, N. Y. 
(c) 642 Ellicott Square, Buffalo. 

Export engineering business. A partner in the firm which was 
being incorporated December 191 1. 

Born May 26, 1885. Son of Frederic A. Kahler and Margaret MacNair 
Kahler. Prepared at Buffalo Central High School. A.B., Princeton 
1906. Member of the Princeton Club of Buffalo. 

The work of export engineering necessarily calls for a wide knowledge 
and interest in all foreign countries. Henry Kahler therefore has interests as 
broad as the world. "It calls for continual attention to conditions in all coun- 
tries," he writes. Of his life he says that it has been "singularly uninteresting 
to anyone else". Now let's us see. 

He has had neurasthenia. That is interesting in so far as we now have 
the opportunity of congratulating him on recovery. Politically, it is interest- 
ing to know that he is a "Radical" and is going to desert the Republicans 
to go over to Woodrow Wilson or to Roosevelt, if not our former college 
president. What grudge have you against public utilities that you want only 
them supervised by the government? As for the initiative, referendum, etc., — 
"all of them" but a limited amount of woman suffrage for Henry. 

Neither protective tariff nor one for revenue only will suit him and he 
appears to be one man at least who knows something about the tariff, for he 
has carried on an "investigation of trade conditions especially relating to the 
tariff." Economics have received much attention in general reading. As for 
sports, he engages as a "spectator" and from college athletics he has felt only 
good effects. 

EMANUEL JOHN KALLINA 

(a) Chester, N. Y. 

(b) 139 Woodland Avenue, Oberlin, O. 

Ministry. Was acting principal of the Slavic department at Oberlin 
Theological Seminary during college term, 1911-1912. Was also 
engaged in mission work among the Bohemians in Cleveland. 

115 



Born April 3, 1878, at Chester, N. Y. Son of Emanuel Frank Kallina and 
Anna Breicha Kallina, both of Kralovice-u-plzne, Bohemia. Prepared 
at Mount Herm-on School, Mount Hermon, Mass. B.A., Princeton 1906. 

Married Beatrice Margaret Wooding, September 7, 191 1, at Auburn, N. Y. 
Emanuel John Kallina born July 13, 1912. 

The ministry and his special work in it among the people of his own race, 
the Bohemians, is the scheme and center of the record sheet of Emanuel 
Kallina. It is clear from a glance at his answers that every interest is 
focused here. Of course this work was his chosen field. "Having had the ad- 
vantages of a Christian home, I decided it was my duty to help those who did 
not have this advantage," he writes, and adds a little sermon in the next line 
about the suitability of work: "A man is always fitted for the work he is 
doing if he is in the path of duty." 

His studies have been as follows : "Theology at Auburn Seminary, grad- 
uating in 1909; studied Bohemian in the Slavic department, Oberlin Theo- 
logical Seminary, 1909- 1910; studied the language, social, economic and reli- 
gious conditions in Bohemia at Praha, 1910-1911." During his teaching work, 
he was doing mission work among the Bohemians in Cleveland. Of foreign 
countries, Bohemia holds his great interest and he writes : "My work shall 
be among Bohemians in America. 

"After studying a year in Bohemia, a Catholic country, I have come to 
the conclusion that a fellow is mighty lucky to be born in the United States, 
where he has religious freedom and where the Bible is an open book," he says. 

Politically, Kal urges supervision of corporations "sufficient to prevent 
over-capitalization and unjust profits". He is for a revenue tariff, for the 
initiative and the other allied doctrines, for woman suffrage and Woodrow 
Wilson. He has not been able to get back to reunions. That is not to say 
that he does not want to, for his interest in the Class and its progress is 
strong and has been evidenced in other pronounced ways. 

It is a large calling you have, Kal, and we wish you luck ! 

HAROLD HALL KEITH 

(ab) 1900 Prairie Avenue, Chicago, 111. 
Occupation not stated. 

Born October 31, 1881. Son of Elbridge B. Keith, of Barre, Vt., and Harriet 
S. Keith, of Ottawa, 111. Prepared at Lawrenceville. Litt.B., Princeton 
1912. Member of the Princeton Club of Chicago. Attended third 
reunion. 

Of course Dick's answers to the formidable Class circular were pithy, 
wherever there chanced to be an answer. No one would expect Dick to 
write a thesis. Naturally, the first place to look in his reply circular, was 
"Wife's maiden name. Name of children; date and place of birth of each." 

Both disappointingly blank ! But we leave it to the Class if Dick's public 

116 



commitment of himself on the next page is not prophetic of deep sympathies 
along the above lines. We quote: 

"Do you believe in woman suffrage? Yes (!!!!)." 

That settles it. The bold type of his hand writing in this telling pro- 
nouncement leaves no room for doubt. Dick will be engaged or married 
within a year, is the last best bet. 

The higher learning has been pursuing Dick Keith these several months. 
Some one chanced to run down to Princeton one day last spring (1912). 
Without a word of warning, he banged upon Dick. With sober academic 
mien, the measured step of the earnest scholar, and three great volumes under 
his arm, Dick was pacing the academic shades of McCosh, communing with 
himself and the masters of the ancient classics. He had been in Princeton 
nearly a half year, haunting seminars and libraries and things. Not a soul 
in the Class had dreamed it. That day was near the end of his term and he 
was carrying off renewed academic honors. In view of all this, Dick, how 
do you explain your statement in the circular, "Have you done much reading 
since graduation? No." Of course, to such flippant questions as "Have you 
done public speaking in any political campaign? Do you intend your present 
work to be your life-work?" the only fitting reproof was the dignified blank 
returned. He freely states, however, that he is a Republican, a conservative, 
and for Taft. He is an Episcopalian. A large Seventh reunion is his choice. 

It is a regret to have to record that Dick suffered a severe attack of 
typhoid fever. One likes to reminisce when reading that as the result of all 
the sports he got into in college, he has felt nothing but good effects. Who 
does not have a picture right here of a quarterback, not too large, rolled up 
like a ball, shooting in and out of monstrous tackles and guards for a hundred 
yards, or bowling over big John DeWitt like a bolt of lightning? 

N. B. — When once sighted in the fall, (1911) Dick was seen alone on the 
top bench of the stand at the Harvard football game inwardly gloating over 
Harvard's downfall so rapturously that he went up to the Waldorf and stayed 
the two weeks interim until it was time to go to New Haven for the Yale 
game. 



EDWARD WASHBURN KELLOGG 

(a) Vineland, N. J. 

(b) 403 Matthews Street, Columbia, Mo. 

(c) Engineering Building, Columbia, Mo. 

Teaching. Instructor in Electrical Engineering, Missouri University. 

Born February 20, 1883. Son of Day Otis Kellogg, of New York and Sarah 
C. Hall Kellogg of Newark, N. J. Prepared at Phillips-Andover Aca- 
demy, Andover, Mass. C.E., Princeton 1906. Special student in elec- 
trical and mechanical engineering at Cornell, 1908-9. Attended first 
reunion. 

117 



Edward Kellogg chose teaching and took post graduate work in electrical 
and mechanical engineering at Cornell. Naturally, technical reading and 
studies incidental to his engineering have taken his spare time. 

He is active in practical social and church work. He has had a Bible 
class in the Presbyterian Church and during the last college year, 1911-12, 
spent much time establishing a social center and school extension work for 
people in his town who could not take advantage of the university courses. 

Politically, he is a Middler, favoring Wilson, a tariff for revenue, govern- 
ment supervision, the initiative, referendum and decidedly restricted recall 
of officers but no recall of judges. As for woman suffrage, he takes Emer- 
son's view point: "They must be allowed to settle that themselves." 

Kel is much interested in China — her progress and problems. Here is a 
little original study in languages : "During two years that I did civil engineer- 
ing work, I had lots of friends among the Italians and used to get off some 
'Dago', which always pleased them. Once, I bade one of them good night — 
'Buona Sera', and got this compliment in return : 'Ver' good, alia righta, boss. 
He spak Italiano like hell'." 

ROBERT WALLACE KELLOGG* 

Last heard from through his brother, Rev. Edwin H. Kellogg, Princeton 
1902, whose address at that time (November 11, 1908) was care of Dwight 
H. Day, 156 Fifth Avenue, New York City. The Rev. E. H. Kellogg wrote 
that Robert Kellogg was seriously ill at the time. A letter sent in reply to 
this was not answered. 

FRANK KENNEDY 

(a c) 307 First National Bank Building, San Francisco, Cal. 
(b) 2003 Franklin Street, San Francisco 

Bond business. With E. H. Rollins & Son, clerk in investment 
bonds department. 

Born January 11, 1885. Son of Frank Kennedy and Maria H. Berry Ken- 
nedy, both of Hagerstown, Maryland. Prepared at St. James School, 
Maryland. B.S., Princeton 1906. 

"Intend work to be your life-job? — you bet." Ken is one man who 
rooted through several other kinds of work until he found this present line 
which suits him to a T. He votes regularly at elections, but has done no 
political work. Believes in federal incorporation and in unrestricted combina- 
tion of corporations. As for woman suffrage, he is "on the fence but voted 
against it." (How soon may we expect announcement cards. Ken?) 

Financial subjects have comprised most of his reading. Has felt good 
effects from his college athletics and says they came from bridge. No wonder 
he is a plutocratic broker now. He has visited thirty states in this country 
and has also been abroad. 

118 



He writes : "I very much regret never having been back to a reunion but 
will be at the next one. Herb Byram, Dick Learning and a few others are 
in San Francisco now and there is room for more. Hope that all the fellows 
will look me up when they come out to the exposition in 1915." 

Get to the Seventh, Ken, and take us all back with you over the week- 
end to 1915. 

BENJAMIN WARFIELD KERR 

(a c) Peoples Bank Building, Pittsburgh, Pa. 
(b) 219 Swissvale Avenue, Edgewood Park, Pa. 

Electrical engineer and manufacturer. Manager and partner in the 
Railway & Industrial Engineering Co., electrical engineers and 
manufacturers. 

Born December 21, 1886. Son of John H. Kerr of Monongahela City, Pa., 
and M. C. Kerr of Allegheny, Pa. Prepared at Mount Tamalpais Mili- 
tary Academy, California. B.S., Princeton 1906; E.E., Princeton 1908. 
Member of the Princeton Club of Western Pennsylvania Subscribes 
to the Alumni Weekly. Attended first reunion and the inauguration of 
President Hibben. 

Married Ann Cotter Biggert, July 23, 1912, at Crafton, Pa. 

Ben was in Princeton for the inauguration of President Hibben last May 
and at that time, there was no doubting the fact that as manager and part 
owner of the Railway and Industrial Engineering Company he was perfectly 
well satisfied and having a splendid time. The prospective business of matri- 
mony also seemed to be pleasing him very greatly at that time. His special 
work in his profession — and by the way the Princeton course in electrical 
engineering is a wonder, says Ben — has been in "high tension transmission and 
insulation". 

His reading has been technical. In sports, he is a member of the Pitts- 
burgh Athletic Club though he exercises rather than plays. Politically, he 
does some work in his local organization. He is a member of the Keystone 
party of Pennsylvania, and is secretary of his borough organization. He has 
canvassed votes and done personal work. He calls himself a Progressive and 
is for Woodrow for President. Of course a newly married man should be 
a woman suffragist and Ben is. Now for another reunion or two, Ben. 

WILLIAM ERNEST KERSHAW 

(a) 215 East Penn St., Germantown, Pa. 

(b) Care of George H. Morris, Glencoe, Illinois 

(c) 1002 Hearst Building, Chicago, 111. 

Born March 31, 1885. Son of William Kershaw and Caroline Kershaw, both 

119 



of Maryland. Prepared at Germantown Academy, Left Princeton 
June 1904. 

Here's Will Kershaw, an engineer, but just because of that by no means 
neglecting the arts and the humanities, for music, psychology and photography 
are his hobbies. He studied electro-chemical engineering at Boston Tech for 
one year. His profession along general lines was specifically a matter of 
choice. In his profession, he has done special study in electric battery engi- 
neering. Outside his profession, music has been his special study. He has 
done a great deal of reading since college and says of himself, "inveterate 
reader" in all lines except history. Sailing and canoeing take spare afternoons 
in summer. In politics, "T. R." is for him, the "least inocuous", which 
shows what some people think of T. R.'s threatened trust busting, for Kershaw 
believes in letting them combine and run along as unmolested as possible. He 
is also for a tariff for revenue which T. R. is not. Like to see you at a 
reunion. Brother Kershaw. 

CARL OTTO von KIENBUSCH 

(a) 48 West Eighty-third Street, New York City 
- (b) 12 East Seventy- fourth Street, New York City 
(c) 165 Front Street, New York City 

Tobacco business. Junior partner with C. H. Spitzner & Son, 
wholesale leaf tobacco. 

Born November 21, 1884. Son of G. C. von Kienbusch of Chattanooga, Tenn., 
and Clara Spitzner of New York. Prepared at Chapin Collegiate 
School. A.B., Princeton 1906. Member of the Princeton Club of New 
York. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly. Has attended all reunions. 

Married Mildred Pressinger, January 4, 1912, in New York City. 

"Nothing particularly exciting has happened to me," writes Otto. "The 
most fun I get is out of my hobbies and in taking a trip to Canada after 
moose once in a while. I will never be famous, believe me." Personages — 
famous people — are very disagreeable, we have found. Let's stay just folks. 

Famous or not, Otto, your line of hobbies sounds attractive. They are 
collecting books, pictures, china and Egyptian antiquities and antique furniture. 

Outside of his business, he has done considerable original research work 
in Egyptology and has studied French literature and art. In this connection, 
he has read widely on history, art criticism and archaeology. In addition to 
this, he plays tennis and golf. He is interested in foreign mission work. 

His work was chiefly dictated by circumstance and he inteneds to make 
it his life work but does not think that it is the work best suited to him. He 
is not an enrolled member of any political party, holds no office but has can- 
vassed votes and watched at the polls. Believes in government supervision 
of corporations to foster competition, a tariff for revenue only, on which he 
says he is a "radical", and before the convention was for Champ Clark.

LITTLETON KIRKPATRICK 

(ab) 424 Ridge Street, Newark, N. J, 
(c) 15 Clinton Street, Newark 

Insurance. Partner in O'Gorman, Kirkpatrick & Young, general 
insurance and real estate. 

Born September 2, 1884. Son of Andrew Kirkpatrick of Washington, D. C, 
and Louise Howell Kirkpatrick of Newark, N, J. Prepared at St. 
Paul's School, Concord, N. H. Left Princeton June 1905. Member of 
the Princeton Clubs of Newark and New York. Attended first and 
third reunions. 

Married Amy L. Crane, June 9, 1908, at Newark, N. J. 

Amy C. Kirkpatrick, born May 25, 1909, in Newark. 
Louise H. Kirkpatrick, born September 8, 1910, in Newark. 

Insurance and real estate business the thing best suited to Lit? Well, 
just meet him in the street some day, encounter that bewitching smile of his 
and a line of laughing enjoyable talk, and see if you get away without finding 
yourself when you leave possessed of a new insurance policy for your mother- 
in-law or uncle in Patagonia or a few real city real estate lots in the Zebu 
Islands? Not that Lit always sells things to you when you meet him. Most 
of the time he doesn't want to. He wants to talk P. & P. — politics and 
Princeton. But when he does want to talk insurance and real state, just 
see if you go away without some new insurance in your pocket ! 

Lit is a Democrat. He works for the party very often. He went down 
to Princeton and Trenton in W. Wilson's behalf. But ask him now if he 
would do it again. Before the convention, he was a Harmon man. We do 
not know what he is now, except that he is a conservative. 

In his line of work, he has done special study in courses in insurance 
law at New York University. His general reading has been in history and 
standard fiction. Degrees? "Not sufficient space to write them." He plays 
tennis and squash whenever possible. From his football in college, Lit feels 
good effects, particularly "the ability to call when necessary upon reserve 
strength developed in college." His travel has been in 25 states, Cuba, England 
and the Continent.

Born August 28, 1884. Son of Alexander Laird of Ballatre, Scotland, and 
Mary Laird of Dixon, 111. Prepared at Lawrenceville. B.A., Princeton, 
1906. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. 
Married Augustine Marie Adams, October 9, 1909. 

Augustine Oliver Laird born August 17, 191 1, Winnipeg. 
As this book goes to press, Doug Laird is probably having the liveliest 
time of the year with the harvest of the greatest crops the country has ever 
produced. He tells us that he is well suited in his work even though he did 
"drift into it". It is uncertain whether he will stay in it. He has done 
special study in grain statistics and in general lines has read much, mostly 
in history. Golf still claims his attention in the summer. As he is living in 
Canada, his approval of Woodrow as a prospective President is a compli- 
mentary vote. He is a "Middler" in political belief, standing for unlimited com- 
petition in business, as much supervision of corporations as possible and a 
revenue tariff, but he opposes the new doctrines. He has travelled extensively 
in the United States, Canada, the British Isles and the Continent.

(c) Apartado 105 Bis., Mexico City, Mexico. (Address cor-

Editor and mining engineer. Editor of the Mexican Mining Journal. 

Born April 30, 1884. Son of William C. Leslie and Emma F, Leslie both of 
Cadiz, Ohio. Prepared at the Steele High School, Dayton, Ohio. A.B,, 
Princeton 1906; E.M., Columbia 1909. Has attended first, third and 
fifth reunions. 

Not since the days of Sir Francis Drake, Mr. Magellan, Mr. Jason and 
others of our best known explorers, has the world or 1906 known a more 
famous traveler than our own Eugene Leslie of Mexico and Princeton. Norris 
Bokum, with his "little journeys from and to the homes of famous reunioners", 
oscillating every other day between Princeton, New York and Chicago, has 
nothing on Les. A mere trifle is a trip from Mexico City to Princeton now 
and then for a real geographer of a sociable turn of mind and a reuning 
spirit. Les, of course, would be surprised, nay annoyed, if you chanced to 
mention to him that you guessed he'd been doing some traveling for three or 
four days, before the Friday of Commencement Week. This is nothing to 
him. But the Class' hair fairly stood on end at the Fifth when it learned 
that E. Leslie of Mexico City, had just blown in after several thousand miles 
of seven-league boot traveling all the way from Mexico City, simply and solely 
for a few days at the Fifth. There were several holes blown through the 
roof of the tent when the news became known and the Class immediateely 
awarded the long-distance cup by acclamation. 

This little note explains the splendid reunion spirit of Les : "Outside of 
work and Class reunions, nothing of interest to report." He writes of re- 
unions : "Less insurance talk and more pee-rades !" 

He chose mining work and is now busy spreading the spirit of digging 
into the entrails of the earth for booty. He launches this destructive propa- 
ganda through the columns of the "Mexican Mining Journal" of which he is 
editor. He has studied metallurgy and technical hterature to the exclusion 
of most everything else since graduation. Politically, he is a "conservative" 
Republican, but chooses Woodrow Wilson for President. He wants unlimited 
competition in business restored, a protective tariff, the initiative, referendum 
and recall. "Woman suffrage — NO ! !"

ber of the Princeton Club of Chicago. Subscribes to the Alumni 
Weekly. Attended the fourth reunion. 

A note from Fred: 

"Life has been rather uneventful with me for the past couple of years as 
I have been on my job from seven in the morning until six-thirty at night. 
Without any assistance, running a wholesale grocery business with six sales- 
men is no idle job, believe me. I have been so busy and so tied down that 
L haven't even had time to think of following the example of some of 
my illustrious classmates as regards finding a wife. Some day possibly when 
I am beginning to get bald* I might be able to catch some girl unawares and 
then have a little information to give the Class. 

"At the present time I am very busy saving up the necessary coin of the 
realm so I can get back for the big Seventh next spring. Give my best to all 
the boys. 

Very truly yours, 
Fred."

Married Margaret Kirk, April 6, 1910, at New Castle. 
Thomas Liggett, 3d, born July 25, 191 1. 

Tom is a missionary. Don't believe it? Listen to this. 

"Nothing much out of the ordinary except Scoot Westcott got up nerve to 
get married and Fred Durham and I helped him as much as possible." Being 
a married man and a father, Tom is spreading the gospel of matrimony 
wherever he goes. He has another hobby too. "To get enough to retire 
and take life easy." Judged by your interest and devotion and the success 
of the new process of "sherardizing", Tom, it looks as if your hobby is going 
to pan out as you wish it to. We wish you speed and a safe journey. 
"Sherardizing", explains Tommy, is a new method of rust proofing. It has 
taken all the study or reading he has done of a regular kind since college. 
But Tom does find time to get in some golf and walking, his two favorite 
sports. No other business has appealed to him as any nearer the goal of 
early retirement than the one he is in, and his getting into it was a matter of 
both choice and circumstance. In politics, he is yet another Republican who 
does not at all believe in its protection programme but wants a revenue 
tariff. He was for William H. Taft in spite of this at the time he answered 
his circular. The rule of reason is his remedy for the trust problem. As for 
woman suffrage, — "Yes, when the woman is taxed." 

"Have more life in the tent and less chasing around to other tents," says 
Tom of reunions. 

WILLIAM HENDRIE LLOYD 

(ab) 3918 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 
(c) 116 South Twenty-first Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 

Advertising. Advertising Manager with the Dill & Collins Co.,

Born February 26, 1885. Son of James Hendrie Lloyd of Doylestown, Pa., 
and Susan D. Newell Lloyd of Philadelphia, Pa. Prepared at Penn 
Charter. A.B., Princeton 1906. Member of the Princeton Club of 
Philadelphia. Has attended all the reunions. 

Does Doc Lloyd ever attend a reunion? Well, if there is a Class dinner 
or an informal party anywhere within one hundred and fifty miles of Phila- 
delphia, lay an extra plate for Doc. Doc has been heard to say that if the 1906 
Chicagoans or others in semi-distant cities begin to have Class dinners, he 
will resign his job to attend, if he doesn't get leave of absence otherwise. New 
York is always much brightened up at the mid-winter festival by Doc's happy 
presence. He never lets his work interfere with a reunion, which isn't to 
say, however, that he doesn't like his work. He does, and he intends to stay 
right at it, for he discovers that it is his forte even if he didn't altogether 
select it five minutes after his advent on this terrestrial sphere. Politics ! All 
over his record. And we are delighted to see that Doc is another one of our 

125 



leading Philadelphia politicians, again a reformer, member of the Keystone 
party and a registrar for one term in his ward division. He is a Taft "Con- 
servative", but he believes in a return to unlimited competition in business, 
which would not be called conservative by several of our leading Wall Street 
colleagues. His reading has been considerable and mostly in standard novels 
of the French, English and xA.merican. He does very little in sports.

Hannah T. Reardon McCarthy of Pennington, N. J. Prepared at the 
Princeton High School. Left Princeton, June, 1906. 
Married Kathryn Penfold Warner, September 11, 1907, at Trenton, N. J. 

Dan feels a just pride as well as a certain little delicacy in the matter of 
our query about progeny. Therefore he replies in full faced type of which 
we heartily approve. We wish to print all the news. 

"Names of children? NOT YET, BUT—" Congratulations, Dan. 

Dan has roved about some since graduation. Just now he is city engineer 
at St. Albans and superintendent of streets, sewers, and water works. During 
the summer of 191 1, a great deal of his time was spent climbing the Green 
Mountains in search of a new water supply for the city. He writes that he 
has done nothing but work for his daily bread but enjoys it so thoroughly 
that unless he finds a gold mine the task will be his life-job. 

Woodrow is his choice for the Presidency. As much a fighter as ever, 
Dan writes : "Yes I believe in restoration of unlimited competition in business" 
and further on "Yes, I believe in unrestricted combination and operation of 

126 



corporations," anticipating, with rare relish, no doubt, the beautiful fight for 
supremacy between these two commercial forces. Later on he relents a bit 
and suggests the staying hand of government supervision to ensure "honesty" 
— which we assume means "a. fair fight". 
Woman suffrage? "Decidedly not." 

NEAL DOWN McCLANAHAN 

(a be) American Mission, Cairo, Egypt 

Missionary. With the American Mission at Cairo, Egypt. 

Born October 15, 1883. Son of the late William Steele McClanahan and 
Jennie P. McClanahan of Wapello, Iowa. Prepared at Monmouth 
College, Monmouth, 111. Entered Princeton, September 1905. B.A., 
Monmouth College; B.A., Princeton 1906. 

Neal and Paul McClanahan, who were with the Class in the last year at 
college, have been found again, we are happy to report, after a search lasting 
six years, from Morning Sun to Cairo. We are glad to be able to publish 
the following welcome letter from Neal McClanahan : 

Cairo, Egypt, May 7, 1912. 
My dear Froelick, 

I just received the question blanks which you sent out sometime in the 
remote past and I am hurrying to forward them though I fear that they are 
too late for this year's purposes. 

You will notice that I have taken the liberty of filling out the list 
addressed to my brother. I did this in order that you might not be compelled 
to wait until the question paper reached him and then would be returned. 

I regret very much that by force of circumstances we are cut off so 
largely from fellowship with Princeton men but what is missed in numbers 
is made up in measure by fuller appreciation of the few chances that do 
come our way. Last winter I met out here Mrs. Cleveland and also Mr. 
Dodge (Cleveland H. Dodge '79) and had a fine visit with them. Then 
we have two other Princeton men on our staff and we do our best to keep 
in touch with the happenings at Princeton. 

I have been wondering as to the possibility of our organizing an associa- 
tion in the Near East. I know of several and have heard that the oldest 
missionary in Africa is a Princeton man. I thought that we might have a 
circular and possibly meet at some central point for a reunion. What do you 
think of it? 

With kindest remembrances, 

Neal McClanahan. 
American Mission, Cairo, Egypt. 

Fine scheme, Neal, put it through. There's George Stewart just across 
the pond from you at Beirut and you may be able to lassoo Cap Calverley 
although these Arabians are hard to catch. 

127 



In answering his circluar, Neal McClanahan writes: "The big event was 
the coming to Egypt and beginning life in a large Oriental city such as 
Cairo. I find that the distance has not lessened my interests in Princeton 
one iota but that the meeting of a Princeton man now out here is about like 
a visit home." 

The w^ork of the mission consists of teaching and preaching. He is doing 
special work in Arabic literature. History is his special subject in general 
reading. He gets a chance at some tennis. He is a conservative and adds 
his vote to Cap Calverley's, swelling the Arabian poll for Woodrow Wilson 
to double proportions. Woman suffrage? — "No, not yet." What a chance 
in Cairo for a little natty suffragette work, Neal. His travels have included 
the Continent. 

PAUL HALDAM McCLANAHAN 

(a be) 427 West Sixty-fifth Place, Chicago, 111. 
Ministry. 

Born March 3, 1881. Son of the late William Steele McClanahan and Jennie 
P. McClanahan. B.A., Monmouth College, Monmouth, 111.; B.A., 
Princeton 1906. 

Married Grace Smith, December 1910, at Waverly, O. 

William Steele McClanahan, born March 1912, in Chicago. 

It is a mark of true filial devotion when a brother in Cairo can answer 
for what a brother in Chicago believes on politics and religion. But the 
McClanahans have good team work and have been doing tricks like that for 
years. Neal says that Paul is a conservative in politics, and is going to 
vote for Woodrow Wilson. Why not vote twice, Paul, out of compliment to 
Cairo? There is just the sign of slight brotherly friction on the woman 
suffrage question. Paul is, but Neal ain't for it. Paul isn't in Cairo, however. 
Paul has done special intellectual work in lecturing and in literature, history 
and sociology. He plays tennis regularly. Besides his regular Church pas- 
toral and preaching work, he runs a free employment bureau in connection 
with the church.

Stock and bond business. Salesman with Bedell & Co. 

Born 1884. Prepared at Episcopal Academy and Cheltenham Military Aca- 
demy. B.A., Princeton 1906. There is no local Princeton Clirb in 
Concord. 

Married Florence Juliette Perkins, June 1909, at Norwich, Conn. 
Lois Juliette McClure born June 24, 1910, at Concord, N. H. 

June became a bond salesman partly through choice. He intends to make 
it his life- job. He is not active in poHtics nor enrolled as a member of any 
political party but votes regularly and has canvassed votes in his district. 
His choice for president before the conventions was Roosevelt or Wilson. 
He leans toward radicalism but believes in a high protective tariff. He favors 
the initiative, referendum and recall. As to woman suffrage, he says that 
he believes in it in one particular only, but does not specify. 

June has studied mathematics and art since leaving college and in con- 
nection with his business has delved into the money and banking systems 
of the country. Snow shoeing and automobiling make up his sports. His one 
serious illness since leaving college has been appendicitis. 

A member of the Episcopal church, he is actively interested in the Boy 
Scouts and teaches a Bible class. His hobby is painting in oils. He has 
visited Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt and Algeria and is especially 
interested in Egypt. 

He writes : "Little to add after answering all your questions. Life has 
been interesting. Have done well so far. Happily married, fine healthy, 
Princeton baby, who has 'loco-ed' from the start, etc. To me, interesting; to 
the Class, not. I see Alex Scott and Frank Libby quite often. They are 
both doing splendidly. Most Harvard and Dartmouth up here, who are now 
saying wait until next year (1912)."

GEORGE DEARDORFF McCREARY, JR. 

(ab) 124 South Van Pelt Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 

(c) 512 Stephen Girard Building, Philadelphia 

Coal business. Coal salesman with Whitney & Kemmerer, wholesale 
coal. 

Born December 13, 1882. Son of George D. McCreary of Tremont, Pa., and 
Kate R. Howell McCreary of Philadelphia. Prepared at Blight School, 
Philadelphia, and Lawrenceville. B.S., Princeton 1906. Member of the 

129 



Princeton Club of Philadelphia. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. 
Attended first, third and fifth reunions. 
Married Ellen Markoe Wharton Williams, June 20, 1906, at Philadelphia, Pa. 

George McCreary hasn't left much to be done in the intellectual world. 
Harken : 

Done much reading? "Yes." 

Along what lines, fiction, etc. ? "All lines." 

Regular study outside business? "School of Soldier, National Guard of 
Pennsylvania." 

What special study in business? "Studied the whole business." 

What could be more comprehensive? But he never intended to work at 
anything else but coal. So there. 

George is a trooper in the First Troop, Philadelphia City Cavalry, and 
has automobiling as his hobby. In politics, he possesses that Philadelphia 
collection of principles that includes the Reform Republican party on the one 
hand and Woodrow Wilson and a revenue tariff on the other, commingled and 
conjoined. He has gone in for helping along the party to the extent of 
collecting subscriptions. He answers "yes" to woman suffrage and "yes" to 
the initiative, etc., right through the recall of judges. "Have as much compe- 
tition in business as possible" and let the government enforce honesty on the 
corporations, he says. Take these ideas, mix them together thoroughly and 
you get George's idea of a "Middler". He has traveled extensively in this 
country and Europe. 

NORMAN LOCKWOOD McCUTCHEON 

(ac) 345 Fifth Avenue, New York City 
(b) 25 Field Point Road, Greenwich, Conn. 

Business. Treasurer of James McCutcheon & Co. 

Born December 14, 1883. Left Princeton 1905. Member of the Princeton Club 

of New York. Attended the fifth reunion. 
Married Elizabeth Holmes October 26, 1910. 

"Have not tied down to any particular hobby as yet," writes Norman 
McCutcheon. 

The Class however is coming in for a good share of his attention. He is 
one of the New York rooters for the Qass who shows a live interest in its 
doings at dinners and reunions. He is an essential part of these and the 
college year that he spent away from the Class is being made up in renewed 
association now. 

Golf and tennis and an enlistment of two years in Squadron A., National 
Guard of New York, make up the gamut of Norman's sports. On politics, we 
attribute to him the following remarks : 

"Competition is all right but large trusts and combinations are bound 
to and should come to stay. The present tariff is too high but reduction should 

130 



be gradual. Woman suffrage? Yes whenever they want it. The large ma- 
jority don't want it. Conservative."

Member of the Princeton Association of Long Island. Attended first,

Married Carrie A. Casler, November 8, 1910, at Little Falls, New York. 

A little message from the Wyopo Company, Pipe Line, at Lander, 
Wyoming, reached Sandy Etherington last July as follows: 

"Lander, Wy., July 23, 1912. 
Dear Sandy, 

Your poster announcing the Summer Congress to be held on August 11, 
was forwarded to me out here and reached me this morning. 

I am more sorry than I can tell you that it will be absolutely impossible 
for me to attend. It is a great idea, and the fact that it will undoubtedly be 
a great success, makes me all the more disappointed that I shall miss it. 

Yours sincerely, 

Kenneth McEwen. 

Great success it was. Ken ! Come next year. 

Now for the omnibus bill ! Questions and answers in staccato measure. 
Most effective. 

Incident? Feature? "Sorry but I've simply been trying to pay expenses." 

Work chosen? Life-job? "Yes." 

Special study outside profession? "None." 

Special study in profession? "Send postage for copies of briefs, opinions 
and memoranda." 

Done much reading? "Yes sir." (Catch the inflection?) 

Engage in sports? "No, not at all." 

Church? "Presbyterian." Active? "Attend." 

Mission work? "No part. Interested." 

Hobbies? "No." 

Next President? "Woodrow." 

Do political work? "No." Member party? "No." 

Government supervise corporations? "Yes. Extent very limited." Com- 
petition? "In so far as possible." 

"Conservative, recall elective officers, let the women vote." 

The witness is excused.

JULIAN ESSELSTYN McGIFFERT 

(ab) 273 East Second Avenue, Roselle, N. J. 
(c) 20 Vesey Street, New York City. 

Advertising. With the C. Ironmonger Advertising Agency, doing 
general advertising work in planning, preparing and directing 
advertising campaigns for various concerns. 

Born December 11, 1885. Son of James B. McGiffert and Clara F. Esselstyn 
McGiffert. Prepared at Pingry School. A.B., Princeton 1906. Attend- 
ed first and third reunions. 

Married Eloise S. Howe, May 27, 191 1, at Roselle, N. J. 

Mac started in the advertising business. Becoming enthralled thereat he 
has settled in it for a career. His reading has been varied and resembles 
therein the nature of his business, for most of his time is spent in studying 
the trade conditions of the various concerns in whose advertising he is 
interested. 

Tennis and bowling are his main diversions. He is not an enrolled 
member of any party. He favors government supervision of corporations to 
such an extent that small interests be given a fair chance and large ones be 
permitted to produce at low cost for the common good. Suffrage for 
women? "Only when a decided majority of truly representative ones actively 
want it." 

(Ed. — As a point of information, we wonder whether Mac's idea of 
"activity" is the demonstrativeness of the following — "Premier Asquith has 
won among England's militant lady citizens.") 

Initiative, referendum and recall? "Yes." Presidential choice? Well, 
here, Mac is a bit fussy. "Do not believe the right man has been named as 
yet." This of course was written some time before the New York Sun's 
candidate, Theodosius Dentatus I, Gloriosus, Rex, was so successfully im- 
pressed upon the people's mind, through said paper's ever loyal, self-sacrific- 
ing columns. 

Julian McGiffert writes : "Lots of things of vital importance to me have 
happened, but none that would interest anyone else. A more or less varied 
business career and home life in a small suburban town — fascinating from my 
viewpoint but far from unusual." 

WILLIAM TREDICK McINTIRE

132 



City and Mary Alonzella Mclntire of Jersey City. Prepared at the 
Hasbrouck Institute, Jersey City. Left Princeton in June 1903. 

An old friend heard from once more ! Greetings to you Mac ! 

His present work was a matter partially of choice, partly of circumstance. 
So far his idea as to the future has not been fixed. A Republican, he believes 
in Taft, likewise be it remarked in a tariff for revenue. He advocates mod- 
erate supervision of corporations. Woman suffrage he does not think 
necessary. 

His reading has been chiefly on subjects relating to his business. He 
indulges in a little golf, tennis, and swimming. "Merely the desire for rec- 
reation" is his special interest outside of business. He has visited six states 
on pleasure bent. 

As you favor a large seventh reunion, Mac, do what you can to make it 
so and break in on us and your long silence next June.

EDWARD DUNCAN McKELLAR 

(ab) Forney, Texas 
(c) City National Bank, Forney, Texas 

Banking. Assistant cashier. City National Bank, Forney, Texas 

Born February 8, 1884. Son of D. G. McKellar and E. R. McCullough Mc- 
Kellar. Prepared at the University of Texas. Entered Princeton 1905. 
B'.S., Princeton 1906. Attended the first reunion. 

Our opening word to you, Mac McKellar, — Read Perry Hale on the 
outdoor life. We recommend that after perusing your note : 

"I went into the bank here shortly after graduating and have been on the 
job constantly ever since. But on account of outside business and my health, 
I expect to sever my connections with it on the first of January, 1912. Will 
be outdoors from now on. More on account of business than otherwise. But 
no more of this indoor business for mine." 

The outdoor life has figured some we take it even in bank life, as 
motoring is his hobby. He went in for a business course after leaving college 
as a result of which he writes of degrees held: "C.E. (Expert accountant — 
Joke)". He is a conservative Democrat, not believing in the new order of 
governmental stunts, but a strong follower of Woodrow Wilson.

PubHc utiHty business. New business manager with the Northern 
Indiana Gas & Electric Co. 

Born December 14, 1883. Son of Archibald Angus McLeod of Montreal and 
Elizabeth Atkins McLeod of Buffalo. Prepared at the Wilson- Vail 
School, New York City. A.B., Princeton 1906. Subscribes to the 
Alumni Weekly, attended first reunion. 

Married Isabel Constance Wylie, October 19, 1910, at Grand Rapids, Mich, 
Janet EHzabeth McLeod, born October 5, 191 1, at South Bend, Ind. 

"I've been surprised twice in the six years since graduation — MacCoy is 
engaged and Cross is single." Only half a surprise left you now, Archie. 
Refer to Cross biography. 

We had a little surprise ourselves, Archie, lasting four years, while you 
remained single. But let the past bury itself. We'll forget those four years 
ill the light you have seen since 1910. 

Work choice or circumstances? "Drifted in," says A. Angus but he 
finds it is the work he believes most eminently well suited to him. He is a 
Taft Republican, another one of the new Republicans crying in the wilderness 
for a revenue tariff. He is for woman suffrage but against the recall and its 
associates. Some tennis, some history and the Presbyterian Church are among 
others of Archie's interests. He has been in every state of the Union and 
overflowed into Mexico. 

ALEXANDER McMILLAN 

(a) 40 Bayard Lane, Princeton, N. J. 
Engineering. Recently resigned as junior engineer, United States 

Geological Survey, Albany, N. Y. 

Born July 17, 1880. Son of Charles McMillan of Scotland and Annis Field' 

McMillan of Princeton, N. J. Prepared at Princeton Preparatory 

School. Princeton 1901-1905. Member of Nassau Club of Princeton. 

Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended first and third reunions. 

Al is a Republican and a thorough-going progressive, favoring woman 

suffrage and all the new doctrines of the recall and the like, as well as 

tariff for revenue. Not satisfied with these, he goes the Progressives one 

better by advocating for the solution of big business problems the Henry 

George doctrine of the Single Tax. This is interesting in as much as Al is 

so far the only member of the Class to state definitely his single tax faith, 

though we have a slowly growing body of several near socialists. Al's record 

does not give much information about his doings since 1906 except to say 

134 



that circumstances brought him into surveying work and that he feels it is not 
a job he will continue in for the rest of his days. 

FRANCIS CONOVER McMILLAN 

(a) 40 Bayard Lane, Princeton, N. J. 

(b) Chelan, Chelan County, Washington 

(c) Box 93, Chelan, Washington 

Civil engineer. In business for himself. Until April i, 19 12, with 
United States Forest Service in the Chelan National Forest. 

Born May 10, 1884. Son of Charles McMillan of Scotland and Annis T. 
Field McMillan of Princeton, N. J. Prepared at Lawrenceville and 
Princeton Preparatory School. Princeton 1901 to 1904. Attended first 
reunion. 
Married Agnes Florence Bergman, June 6, 1912, in Seattle, Wash. 

Frank was employed as Forest Ranger in the Government Forest Service 
from 1910 until April 1912 and was excluded on that account from political 
work. He has some very decided views of what he wants poHtically never- 
theless. He favors Woodrow Wilson, government control and regulation 
of corporations, tariff for revenue, the initiative, referendum and recall, and 
woman suffrage in state but not National elections. 

Irrigation, water power problems and architecture have been his chief 
study in his profession. On the side, he manages to play a little tennis, and 
baseball, and rides horseback every day. He has visited 22 states and 
British Columbia. At every opportunity he indulges his outdoor hobby for 
camping, mountain climbing, hunting and fishing. And therefore one more 
1006 student will pull in at reunions with the sparkle of the outdoors in his 
eyes, as an addition to a few other sparkles that may be spotted in the 
surrounding scenery. 

Frank is interested in Boys' Clubs and Y. M. C. A, work, but has had 
little chance to get busy along these lines in Chelan. He writes: "It has 
been pretty hard 'drilling' for most of us out here in the last few years, not- 
withstanding the many wonderful stories of the golden opportunities in the 
Northwest, but things are picking up now and we hope to see a few of the 
stories made real in the next few years." 

Our money is on you, Frank. Go to it.

DONALD ERASER McPHERSON 

(a c) Care Holt, Wheeler and Sidley, 1007 Tacoma Building, 
Chicago, 111. 
(b) 25 East Walton Place, Chicago 

135 



Lawyer. With the firm of Holt, Wheeler and Sidley. 

Born August 2^, 1884. Son of Donald Fraser McPherson of Mumford, N. 
Y., and Mary Adelaide Gowans McPherson, of Buffalo, N. Y. Pre- 
pared at Lawrenceville. A.B., and M.A., Princeton; LL.B., North- 
western University Law School. Studied law at Harvard, finishing at 
Northwestern University Law School. Since then, has been practicing 
law in Chicago. Member Princeton Club of Chicago. Subscribes to 
the Alumni Weekly. Attended third and fifth reunions. 

Would you think it? Don McPherson, brilHant member of the Illinois 
bar, man about town, without whom no society function in the Chicago 
younger set is complete, — states for publication that the real thing he's inter- 
ested in, his hobby, is farming I He does qualify it with the parenthesis 
"(Occasional)." After all, it's only another case of a Gladstone; all the 
great have to get back to the soil, hunting relief from the world of affairs. 

Here's another surprise. In this present-day whirl of politics, he describes 
himself a "Denatured Radical". The "Radical" is not surprising. But how 
a McPherson can stand for being "denatured" in his brand of statecraft or 
his brands of anything else, ought to be hard for a bra' Scotchman to explain 
before his ancestry. Don explains his status as a "Radical" in the initiative 
and referendum. The "denatured" comes in here — "No woman suffrage". 
Another trace of the denatured — "Government supervision of corporations 
sufficient to prevent unlawful combination, competition and financing" — 
mild enough for a Radical. 

As far back as April, 1912 and before, he was a rooter for Woodrow 
Wilson for the Presidency, though he is a Republican. He will probably 
be canvassing votes from house to house for Governor Wilson this fall, the 
same as he did a while ago to elect municipal and county candidates in local 
elections. 

Anything in the athletic line? Certainly. Has hay fever annually, plays 
squash and racquets at the University Club; golf at the Homewood Country 
Club, and rides. In the face of all this, he takes care to remind that he was 
"not an athlete" speaking of college. 

Did anybody while we were in college, except a small exclusive circle 
devoted to art, know D. F. McPherson as a patron and student of art 
under that beloved teacher of a devoted band, Professor Allan Marquand? 
If so, kind reader, — the carefree Don, oblivious of his "studies", forgetful of 
his books, is no longer thus. This life ended at Harvard, another Harvard 
Crime. Since then he has been a scholar. He has done it in that same old 
quiet way that let's out nothing until it's all done. In this way, he silently 
slipped off a thesis on Princeton. Nobody heard anything about it, until 
they read in the books that D. F. McPherson had been awarded an M.A. In 
the same way now, he's making all-fired good in the law in Chicago. But if 
you ask if it is the work best suited to him, the answer is "Sometimes". 

Also, we beg to remark that it is in the same silent way, that he is doing 
a lot of work with a lively interest among a bunch of youngsters in the 

136 



Boys' Club of the Association House in Chicago, where he is a member of 
the Board of Directors. You don't hear these things from D. F. McPherson. 
But you have read in the papers this fall of a good, all-round young lad, a 
saloon-keeper's son, who got the first Princeton scholarship from the Princeton 
Club of Chicago? A good deal of this might be traced, we hear, to D. F. 
McPherson. Aside from a certain amount of hum*an interest, trust McPher- 
son to hunt out our best known saloon-keepers, along with their sons. 

But enough of this ! Listen to the voice of the McPherson of art 
student and bonvivant days, in this refreshing bit of Reunion philosophy : 

"I think the reunions are good fun now and should not be made stiff 
and formal. Them as don't drink can leave it. Let us have spontaneity and 
no regulation. A strict doctrine of 'Laissez-faire' three days out of three 
years is not objectionable." 

As for foreign parts, Scotland rules favorite. 

"I am informed that my forbears came from there," says Don. 

This history ends with a quotation from "McPherson on Income". The 
famed McPherson modesty is discernible principally in the last phrase : 

"I am sorry not to be able to raise the average earning capacity, but 
lawyers, as you know, are usually distinguished for other reasons."

WILLIAM LOGAN MacCOY 

(ac) 1218 Real Estate Trust Building, Philadelphia 

(b) Overbrook Avenue and Fifty-eighth Street, Philadelphia 
Lawyer. Member of the firm of Mac Coy, Evans and Hutchinson. 

Born March 4, 1885. Son of Alexander W. MacCoy of Franklin County, 
Pa., and Emma Logan MacCoy of Allegheny, Pa. Prepared at the 
Haverford School. A.B., Princeton 1906; LL.B., University of Penn- 
sylvania, 1910. Member of the Princeton Club of Philadelphia. Has 
attended all reunions. 

Married Marguerite Pascal Wood, October 19, 1912, at Overbrook, Pa. 

Features? "Became engaged in 191 1 to be married. Started own law 
firm in 1911." A big year this 1911 ! "October 19, 1912" a day that betters 
the year, we take it, Log. Our best congratulations ! 

It was just a bit of surprise though, W. Logan MacCoy, for we who 
count ourselves wise reasoned thus, — that the man who fusses so successfully 
becomes enamoured of the art, not of its subjects. We one day met a 
certain lady. Then the surprise vanished. 

It is hard to write about such things as law and terrors like initiatives, 

137 



etc., when there is only one possible subject to be considered near this time of 
your wedding, L. MacCoy, so just a hasty run through your statesmanship 
and business ideas. A law partner in the firm one started himself. Pretty 
interesting! It is instructive to see that another one of our lawyers has 
butted into the political game. Logan holds the public office of registrar of 
the 20th division, 34th ward of Philadelphia. He is not a ward-heeler, mark 
you that, Bud Johnson, even if he was appointed! His party is the reform 
wing of the Republican party and he is secretary of his division committee. 
Other political labors include drawing up "Literature and canvassing some." 

He is deserting the Grand Old party this fall for Woodrow Wilson, 
but he doesn't have to go very far, for he already believes in a tariff for 
revenue. He admits to favoring woman suffrage "to a limited degree". In 
his profession, he has specialized in the law of fellow-servants. Outside 
study has consisted of some research work along the lines of the poHtical 
parties in the United States and of teaching for a year. His general reading 
has been "a good deal in essays, fiction, history and economics." 

Of athletics: "Felt much better for what I did in college; felt best as a 
result of daily gym work all winter." He plays baseball on the team of the 
Princeton Club of Philadelphia and plays tennis in summer, squash in 
winter, does gym work and swims. He is intereseted in a boys' club. Eng- 
land holds his interest among foreign lands because of the problems in its 
government. 

GORDON MACDONALD 

(a c) 24 Pine Street, Nev^ York City 
(b) 114 East Seventy-first Street, New York City 
Banking and bonds. In the bond department of Speyer & Co. 

Born August 13, 1884. Son of Gordon Macdonald, of Gananoque, Canada, 
and Emilie Iselin Macdonald, of New York City. Prepared at Groton 
School, Groton, Mass. B.A., Princeton, 1966. Member of the Prince- 
ton Club of New York. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended 
the first and third reunions. 

Married Helen Parrott, June i, 191 1, at Jacksonville, Fla. 

Gordon Macdonald finds himself a banker more or less as the result 
of circumstances. It will furnish him, however, his life theme and sooner 
or later, ye who inhabit that bank-locked area of Pine, Wall, William and 
Broad streets, lower Manhattan, look to your laurels and commitments. 
He is a Democrat in faith and a conservative in creed. He would have 
corporations supervised to the extent of seeing that law is complied with. 
Free trade is a doctrine he advocates, but as for the newly governmental, 
the initiative, and its following, "certainly not." Women may have suffrage 
if they really want it, and Harmon of Ohio, would have been a sane man 
foi the Presidency, thinks Gordon. 

Gordon reads. He has been doing it all his life. College did not even 

138 



interrupt him. "History poetry and the New York Sun have made up 
much of his Hbrary. (Do you still read the New York Times-Sun, Gordon?) 
He soldiers with "K" Company of the Seventh Regiment and goes in moder- 
ately for tennis, squash, riding and boating. His activity in the church is as 
a vestryman of St. Mark's Episcopal Church. He is interested in the St. 
Mark's Men's Club. Most of the countries of Europe and a dozen or so 
States have been visited and he is much interested in Germany because of 
business reasons and two years' residence there.

(b) 107 West Seventy-second Street, New York City 

Accounting. Municipal accounting with the Bureau of Municipal

Born July 10, 1882. Son of E. R. Mackenzie and Josepha Boman Gun 
Mackenzie. Prepared at Portland Academy, Portland, Oregon. B.A., 
Princeton, 1906; C.P.A. (Certified Public Accountant), State of New 
York. Member of the Princeton Club of New York. Subscribes to 
the Alumni Weekly. Attended third and fifth reunions. 

Married Berniece Stewart, June 12, 1906. 

Stewart Arthur Mackenzie, born October 20, 1908, at Portland, Ore. 
William Russell Mackenzie, born June 7, 1910, in New York City. 

Mack freely confesses that his greatest achievement has been the induc- 
tion into this dull sphere of earthly living, the greatest Imperial Ruler the 
Class of 1906 has ever had, Stewart Arthur Mackenzie, His Imperial Majesty, 
our Class Boy. 

Aside from this great public and patriotic service, Mack considers every- 
thing else he has done a mere trifle. He chose his profession of accounting 
before leaving college and intends to make it his life-job. He is not active 
in politics. He is an advocate of the initiative, referendum and recall and 
favors Woodrow Wilson for President. 

He has studied public accounting, specializing in investigations of the 
accounting systems of municipalities. Mack is now in Bridgeport, Conn., 
investigating the accounting of that city on behalf of the Bureau of Muni- 
cipal Research of New York. He has read some economics but chiefly 

139 



history. In travel, he has visited 36 states of the union on both business 
and pleasure. 

He thinks that the fifth reunion formed a model that should be fol- 
lowed in future reunions, and writes : 'The most interesting 'incidents' in my 
life are my two boys." 

ALEXANDER ANDERSON MACKIMMIE 

(ab) Nutting Avenue, Amherst, Mass, 
(c) Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst, Mass. 

Teaching. Assistant Professor of French, Massachusetts Agricul- 
tural College, Amherst, Mass. 

Born September 14, 1878. Son of James William Mackimmie, of Pictou, 
Nova Scotia, and Elizabeth N. Ross Mackimmie, of West River, Pictou, 
N. S. Prepared at Pictou Academy, Nova Scotia. Entered Princeton 
1903. A.B., Princeton 1906. 

Married Jean Ross, April 7, 1906, at Brooklyn, N. Y. 

Alexander Anderson Mackimmie, Jr., born December 24, 1906, at 

Truro, N. S. 
George Ross Mackimmie, born June 11, 1908, at Truro, N. S. 
James Paige Mackimmie, born September 25, 191 1, at Amherst, Mass. 

Three lusty candidates already in line for the classes of '27, '29, and '32 ! 
And "Mac" has a perfect right to demand from the "Bull Moose" a seat 
among the mighty. 

The profession of teaching was chosen and will be followed as long as 
possible, for "Mac" thinks that it is the work for which he is best suited. 
And we are inclined to agree with him for once on a time during the past 
summer, when the mercury was sizzling in the glass, and everybody who 
could beg or borrow a nickle was down at "Coney Island" rolling in the 
surf, we met him on the campus at Columbia. We asked him what he was 
doing, and he said "studying." We hadn't the heart to ask what, but here 
is the answer: "3-b, page 2, phonetics at the summ.er school, Columbia Uni- 
versity, 191 1." That is our idea of being in love with your profession. 

Mac is not an enrolled voter, nor a member of any political party, for 
the very good reason that he couldn't choose where he was born, so his 
parents saw to it that be began life out of this country and he is not 
yet a fully naturalized citizen. He insults our intelligence, however, by 
inquiring whether our pubHc questions were not "framed up by Squirt 
Daniels." Horrors ! No, Mac. Anything so simple as these, a Squirt frame-up. 
You not only insult us. You ridicule him. 

Mac says he believes in Government supervision of corporations^ but 
doesn't say how or to what extent. He is a free trader, does not believe in 
the "I and R", nor in woman suffrage, but does believe in Woodrow for 
President. 

Since graduation Mac has been doing "considerable" reading in French, 

140 



Spanish and Italian, but hasn't taken any part in sports. He has done social 
work among the Italians, and says that his hobbies are "my family, my 
chickens, my dog and my neighbors". That, in our opinion, Mac, constitutes 
a working hypothesis not only for a profession, but for a religion. ' 

JOHN FRANCIS MACPHERSON 

(ab) 725 South Second Street, Springfield, Illinois 
(c) 38 Illinois Bank Building, Springfield, Illinois 

General Superintendent of Parks, Pleasure Driveway and Park 
District of Springfield, Illinois. 

Born August i, 1884. Son of Alexander B. Macpherson of Scotland, and 
Margaretha E. Buettner Macpherson of Ontario, Can. Prepared at 
Springfield High School, Springfield, 111. A.B., Princeton^ 1906. 

Married Lydia Edna Orendorff June 22., 191 1, at Springfield, Illinois. 

We have with us to-night, John Francis Macpherson, Park Commissioner, 
member of county steering committee, delegate to the State Republican 
Convention, in short one of the Class' notable politicians, publicists and 
generally active little statesmen. 

John evidently did not collect on his claim of 1909 against the Class for 
$290 worth of words at one-half a word a dollar. His supply this trip is 
scanty. What is lost in numbers, however, is made up in fullness of import, 
for we are given the opportunity of recording that another of our number 
occupies a position of public trust and is responding to the call of his 
sovereign state in accepting and running the office of General Superintendent 
of Parks for the Pleasure Driveway and Park District of Springfield, 111. On 
the side, he does some golf and a little tennis. 

John is a Republican and active in political life. He has canvassed votes 
and helped his party organization in other ways in the precinct, ward and 
county, in party fights and in non-partisan local fights. The order of his 
choice for President way back before the conventions was "i — T. R. 2 — 
Wilson. 3 — LaFollette," He is a "Near-Progressive," a result achieved by 
subtracting the recall of judges and woman suffrage from his belief in the 
rest of Progressivism. With the perspicuity begot of much politics, John 
says that he does not intend to make his present work a life-job. If you 
finish up the parks in time, John, cast your critical eye over the Princeton 
campus, grounds, buildings and reunion tents next spring. We'd like to see 
and hear you. 

CHESTER Dubois marquis 

(ab) 613 East Grove Street, Bloomington, 111. 
(c) 210 East Monroe Street, Bloomington, 111. 

Business. Retailing automobiles and contracting in concrete 
construction. 

141 



Born June i, 1880. Son of F. D. Marquis, of Mansfield, O., and Caroline 
Brush Marquis, of Mexico, N. Y. Prepared in the Academic Depart- 
ment of the Illinois State Normal University. A.B., Princeton, June 
1906. Member of the Princeton Club of Chicago. Attended third 
reunion. 

Since graduation, Mark has had a varied experience. He went with a 
chemical house in New York and then into the turpentine plant of the same 
concern located in Georgia. Later, he spent six months or so in Cuba, working 
in the sugar business, and made a very careful study of the chemical control 
of sugar manufacturing and refining. 

Aside from a bit of fiction, technical reading takes up most of his spare 
time. Golf, tennis, swimming and gym work keep Mark's goodly physique in 
proportion, and a combination of Sunday-school and choir work keeps his 
First Day full. Mark is a Roosevelt supporter, excepting on the woman 
suffrage question. He wants government supervision of business along the 
lines of bank supervision, a protective tariff only so long as our various 
industries really need protection, and the initiative, referendum and recall. 

THOMAS ROSE MATHEWS

Born January 27, 1884. Son of Alden H. Mathews, of Bedford, 0., and 
Alice E. Mathews, of Hiram, O. Prepared at Qeveland South High 
School. Princeton, September, 1903, to October, 1905. Member of 
the Princeton Association of Northern Ohio. 

Married Lucy M. Fippin, October 21, 1909, at Columbus, O. 

Alice Elizabeth Mathews, born November 15, 1910, at Cleveland. 
Lucy Fippin Mathews, born December 17, 191 1, in Cleveland. 

Tom Mathews writes: 

"A very common place existence has been mine — tho' a happy one. Have 
had varied experiences, including the learning of the conducting of the adver- 
tising affairs of a large manufacturing concern; the foundry business — auto 
engines; prospecting and mining; and lastly, the business of mill, railroad 
and contractors' supplies. And still I can't collect enough moss." 

Business is the work he is cut out for and it is what he expects to 
make a life-job. His present line of work, however, is only a station on the 
road. From his prospecting work in the cobalt region of Northern Ontario, 
Canada, he gained an interest in Canada which still obtains because 'T have 
still a few 'dried-up' mining properties there." 

Besides mining properties, he has memories of Canada. While there 

142 



prospecting, he was taken with a critical attack of typhoid fever. In connec- 
tion with this and with his college athletics, he writes: "Ran a good deal in 
college but have had no bad effects or I could never have passed thru such 
an illness as I did in 1909." He now does a "little tennis and a bit o' golf." 
His reading has been quite extensive in fiction and history. 

He says he is a "Radical," but his radicaHsm appears of a gentle spirit, 
as he believes in none of the new doctrines, including woman suffrage. He 
is for Woodrow Wilson. 

Let's have a little "Am I the Boss" on the "Dum-i-Dum Line" in congre- 
gational singing at the Seventh next year, Tom. Come on !

Born December 17, 1884. Son of William H. Matthai and 'Alice B. Matthai, 
both of Baltimore, Md. Prepared at Marston School, Baltimore. Left 
Princeton, 1904. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Has attended all 
the reunions. 

Married Adelaide Kinsley Coates, April 26, 191 1, New York City. 

"Every reunion seemed very good to me," says "Tub" Matthai, who is 
an expert reunioner. Do we hear you smack your lips, Tub? Reuning 
and nearly all summer sports have made up the circle of Tub's outdoor exer- 
cise, and his reading has consisted of a limited amount of fiction and history, 
while in study a little home law has brightened up the fireside. Tub is in 
his present business as a matter of circumstance, or if you choose — the Will 
of Heaven — for it was his father's business. He is a Democrat, but out of 
compliment for those many Republicans who have turned tail and run for a 
revenue tariff, Tub plants himself for a high protective tariff. His advocacy 
of the initiative et al, except woman suffrage, saves him from the doom of 
the "Conservative," and he calls himself "Middler." He is for Woodrow 
Wilson for the Presidency. 

ALBERT TOULAZIN MAURICE 

(a c) Rye, New York

St. Luke's. B.A., Princeton, 1906; LL.B., Columbia, 1909. Member

of the Princeton Club of New York. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. 
Attended first, third and fifth reunions. 
Married Eleanor Fowler, December 2, 191 1, in New York City. 

Down in the section of Wall street, where trusts were born and corpora- 
tions fed up, seek out Al Maurice any time you want to know who is being 
reorganized to-day or who will want to be to-morrow. The corporations, big 
fellows and little, trek their way up into the offices where Al resides and lay 
their troubles bare before him, crying "What shall we do?" Then Al cuts 
away a lot of surplus trash that lies in them, mends them up and injects new 
blood into them and they go on their way once more to entice the dear public 
as best they can. This may be some clue as to why Al says "let us combine 
and be merry for to-morrow we die," of corporations and government 
supervision, and urges that the government keep strictly hands off. Al 
appears to be a new brand of Democrat this year a conservative Democrat 
for Taft. 

He chose law as his profession, and it will probably furnish him some 
little activity for life. In general reading, he has done a lot of American 
history. 

Hunting and fishing are his hobbies and he adds to these sports, consid- 
erable rowing and tennis. Then too, in the old days, when society was not 
so polite and married as it is now, Al did consider reuning a tolerable sport.

Married Charlotte Mallory, April 12, 1912, at Easton, Pennsylvania. 

Mike's autobiography: 

"Four years' of medicine and one year of hospital experience up to the 
present (Dec, 191 1) with numerous trips abroad during the summers. Am 
engaged to Miss Charlotte Mallory, of Easton." (Now married.) 

Mike, you look like the Tourist Trust as we glance at the tabulated list 
of Europe all over the back page of your circular. Those summer trips 
were numerous. We are forced to put you in the class with Norris Bokum, 
Eugene Leslie and Mr. Thomas Cook Raymond Whitcomb Baedeker in travel. 

Here is the list : 
Canada, 
Cuba, 
Ireland, 
Scotland, 
England, 
Wales, 

Hobby: "Travel." Is that all we can say of a library like this? And 
just to think how well Mike schemes a visit to Princeton every time there 
are doings. Hasn't missed a reunion! Sort of slips one over on Herzogo- 
vinia every once in a while and slides down to Princeton instead, then butts 
off to Monaco for a little nerve rest. There is nothing like it, after a par- 
ticularly stormy night in a reunion tent, to find oneself in a rare old Prince- 
ton hack softly murmuring, "On the way to good old Bosnia's s'morning." 

Mike is for Woodrow Wilson, and is a "Middler" in political faith. Good 
luck, Mike, in your travels and patients !

JOSEPH ARTHUR MORRISON 

(a b) Sagamore Avenue, Hollis, L. I. 
(c) Care of Seaboard Construction Co., 375 Fulton Street, 
Brooklyn, N. Y. 

Civil Engineer. Engineer of Seaboard Construction Co. 

Born February 14, 1883. Son of Joseph G. Morrison, of South Orange, N. J., 
and AHce P. Morrison, of Newark, N. J. Prepared at East Orange, 
N. J., High School. Left Princeton, March, 1904. 

Married AHce A. Mauger, June 12, 1909, at Plainfield, N. J. 

Joseph Nicholas Morrison, born April 3, 1910, at Plainfield, N. J. 

"Have been so busy that my profession is of the most interest so far," 
writes Joe Morrison, "and I have done nothing worth bragging about yet." 
In his profession he has paid special attention to the construction and opera- 
tion of railroads. He has done much reading, chiefly technical in line with 
his work. He has music for his hobby, "though cannot produce any," he 
notes, and in athletics — rowing, and swimming and tennis. From athletics in 
college, Joe writes that he felt "no bad effects, but good physique as the 
result of the use of the gym." We regret that he had an attack of nervous 
exhaustion that laid him on the shelf for 14 months. We congratulate you, 
Joe, on your recovery. 

He is associated with the Plymouth Brethren in religious belief, and his 
activity in the work of the congregation is in regular attendance and taking 
part in the meetings. He is interested in foreign mission work to the extent 
of contributing. In politics, he writes that President Taft would be his 
choice if he voted, but that he does not vote because of a religious principle 
in the matter. He is interested in England because it was the home of his 
grandparents. 

Glad to have you with us once more at reunions, Joe. Keep up the 
good work. 

STERLING MORTON 

(ac) 717 Railway Exchange, Chicago, 111. 
(b) 61 East Oak Street, Chicago 

Salt business and private banking. Is Secretary of the Morton Salt 
Co. ; secretary of the Great Western Cereal Co. ; first vice-presi- 
dent of the Western Cold Storage Co. ; besides being connected 
with subsidiary companies of one kind and another. 

Born August 25, 1885. Son of Joy Morton, of Detroit, Mich., and Carrie 
Lake Morton, of Omaha, Neb. Prepared at Lawrenceville. Litt.B., 
Princeton, 1906. Member of the Princeton Clubs of Chicago and New 
York. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended first and third 
reunions. 

146 



Married Sophy Preston Owsley, November 2, 1910, in Chicago. 
Suzette Preston Morton, born August 24, 191 1. 

Sterling Morton is one of the live wires in the Chicago circle- of 1906 
brethren. He sends on the good word : 

"1906 has four men on the governors' board of the Princeton Club of 
Chicago — Bokum, Bard, McPherson and myself. '06 is strong in spirit here 
and also strong in works. We hope to increase the Chicago delegation at 
Princeton and are working on a scholarship endowment." 

Both choice and circumstance entered into his present work. He is a 
Democrat, votes regularly, and has done some real politics. He writes that 
when his uncle was elected Mayor of Chicago, he "had to work for him." 
This comprises the most important political work that he has done. He 
believes in government supervision of corporations, a tariff for revenue and 
in the progressive political doctrines of the initiative, referendum and recall. 
He favors woman suffrage, subject to a property qualification. Woodrow 
Wilson is his choice for President, 

Sterling has done some regular outside study which has taken the form 
of aeronautical reading and model building. His hobbies are aviation and 
photography. His recreations have consisted of motoring, walking, yachting 
and big game shooting. 

Through the important executive places he holds in several corpora- 
tions, Sterling Morton is in a position to secure work for men having 
mechanical ability and he stands ready to do this. He says "I can always 
use men of a mechanical turn of mind, not afraid of outdoor work. Any 
who want jobs might write." 

WILLIAM COLHOUN HOTTER 

(a) Endicott Building, St. Paul, Minn. 

(b) 690 Oakland Avenue, St. Paul, Minn. 

(c) 238 Endicott Building, St. Paul, Minn. 

Dry goods business. Conimission merchant and mill agent, repre- 
senting a number of cotton and woolen mills. 

Born January i, 1882. Son of Louis Motter, of Hagerstown, Md., and 
Olivia Colhoun Motter, of St. Joseph, Mo. Prepared at St. Joseph 
High School. A.B., Princeton, 1906. Member of the Princeton 
Alumni Association of the North Wiest. Subscribes to the Alumni 
Weekly. Attended the third and fifth reunions. 

Married Nancy Toulmin Judson, July 23, 1910, at St. Paul, Minn. 

Out with it. Bill ! That story on Fred Letts. You've got us all worked 
up now. Must we wait till the next reunion? 

Bill writes : "The most important thing I have done is to get married. 
Have nothing important to say about myself, but I could tell you a good 

147 



story on Fred Letts if I had more space. Will have to save it until the 
next reunion." 

Fair warning to Fred Letts ! 

It is a comfort to know that we have some men of missionary spirit in 
the class who will go up into those near-Arctic regions where they have 
midnight sun and sixty below zero and other little pleasantries of this kind, 
and will sell the poor, cold people some wool and stuff to keep themselves 
warm. Lots of people seem to like Bill's wool and cotton goods, we hear, 
and the business is going merrily along. Bill is his own boss and progressing 
in fine shape according to leading trade papers and the inner circle of the 
knowing. He has read considerably in the growing and manufacture of 
cotton and wool. His reading for diversion has been in fiction. 

Sports? Yes. He is a member of the Nushka Club for Curling. No, 
you poor fools down in Texas and Arizona, this has nothing to do with 
ladies' coiffure. It's only done in cold countries and is a sure-enough- sport. 
He is also a member of the White Bear Yacht Club, and sails, plays tennis 
and golf. You are Number 4 on the list of the 1906 Sailing and Yachting 
Society, Bill, coming next to Butler, Etherington, Hazard. From track 
athletics in college, he has ever felt himself exhilarated, and good effects 
have been continuous since the spirit of athletics first made itself plain in 
Bill in that notable utterance of his at a certain dinner, "Oh don't let my 
feet touch the ground." 

He is a Democrat and a Wilson man, and strange to relate, doesn't fear 
a revision of Schedule K in the least, but wants a revenue tariff, this in 
spite of being a wool man. 

JOHN RANDALL MUNN 

(a) 15 Munn Avenue, East Orange, N. J. 

(b) 9 March Street, Dedham, Mass. 

(c) 281 Summer Street, Boston, Mass. 

Wool business. With Francis Willey & Co., buying and selling wool, 
tops, and yarn. 

Born June 23, 1884. Son of Joseph S. Munn and Elizabeth P. Munn. Pre- 
pared at East Orange High School. C.E., Princeton, 1906. Member 
of the New England Princeton Alumni Association, and the Princeton 
Club of New York. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended 
third and fifth reunions. 

Jack Munn decided that Boston needed, in addition to culture and 
Harvard — virility and Princeton. So he joined Hal Edwards there in the 
general uplift movement and the wool business. He has centred on the 
wool business, so far, but the uplift could not fail to go on under the Munn 
brand of restless energy. This also extended to Princeton, and besides valua- 
ble help in football coaching, Jack, with Sandy Etherington, benefited the col- 

148 



lege last year by arranging a course of talks for the undergraduates on life- 
work occupations and what was to be expected from various pursuits in the 
cold, cold world after graduation. 

Jack has been making mightily good in the wool business in the thriving 
establishment of which Hal Edwards is a power. Wool has taken the atten- 
tion of both of them pretty completely. Jack writes that his outside study 
has been a careful investigation into the comparative costs of manufacturing 
wool in England and America. He sojourned in England for a while. In 
the line of his business, he has also studied economics. 

This line of study and work has produced of him a staunch and conserva- 
tive Taft Republican, strong for a protective tariff and against the new 
doctrines. 

Wool has even been a factor in his soldiering. He is a member of Troop 
B of the First Squadron of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. During 
the big Lawrence strikes early in the year (1912), he was with his troop on 
duty in Lawrence. 

He is active in athletics. Would anyone expect anything else? He 
captained the senior eight-oared crew of the New York Athletic Club in 
1909 — a championship crew — and of course he coaches in football at Prince- 
ton. He plays golf and tennis. 

Effects of college athletics? "Very good", writes Jack, and adds of 
results other than physical : "The personal contact with football men all over 
the country has been of benefit." 

"The most interesting of all events were the Harvard and Yale football 
games of 191 1," he concludes. 

Jack has traveled in S3 states, mostly on pleasure, and in England, 
France and Canada. He is well interested in China because of the estab- 
ment of Princeton there. 

May the missionaries dispensing Princeton light in the Boston and New 
England darkness continue to produce the good effects Pop Cresse writes of : 
"I find in New England generally a great respect paid to Princeton !" 

ORSON DESAIX MUNN 

(a c) 361 Broadway, New York City 
(b) 40 East Sixty-second Street, New York City 

Lawyer and publisher. Publisher of the Scientific American. In 
the employ of Munn & Co. 

Born July 26, 1883. Son of Henry N. Munn and Annie Elder Munn, both 
of New York. Prepared at The Hill School. Litt.B., Princeton, 1906; 
LL.B., New York Law School. Member of the Princeton Club of 
New York. Attended the first and fifth reunions. 

Married Margaret W. Lawrence, December 14, 191 1, at Rahway, N. J. 

Orson Munn writes editorials for the Scientific American as an outside 
intellectual pastime, studies the law of patents as a part of his profession, 

149 



and reads the newspapers for his general fiction and literature. With these 
weighty matters discharged, we may now digress to sports and politics. 

Four exclamation points after his vote in favor of woman suffrage must 
indicate something. Here is the answer verbatim : "Yes ! ! ! ! With general 
educational franchise limitation." We would fain know the reason for this 
demonstration of punctuation. Possibly it merely indicates a change of 
heart from the hard-shell anti-suffragist to a milder being, beginning 
formally on the date — December 14, 1911, at Rahway. Wonderful how these 
editors change their fine abstractions after a little personal work ! Orson 
is 2. Middler in political theory, standing for the initiative and the rest, 
except the recall of judges. We catch the signals on the choice for President, 
Orson ! You are a Bull Moose, but do not like to tell it. 

Hobbies — "Shooting and automobiling." Is there a difference? 

Add a little tennis and polo and you have the combination that completes 
his athletic work. He is interested in the Big Brothers. 

Traveled? "Cook's Europe." 

Selah. 



CLAYTON ARTHUR MUSSER 

(a) Boonville, New York 

(c) Willard Press, Boonville, New York 

Newspaper work. Reporting and editorial work with the Willard 
Press and Boonville Herald. 

Born August 8, 1884. Prepared at Albright. Entered Princeton 1903. 

A.B., Princeton, 1906. 
Married Gladys Louise Willard, June 30, 1909, at Boonville, N. Y. 

Audrey Virginia Musser, born July 18, 191 1, at Boonville, N, Y. 

Clayton Musser finds himself an editor by circumstances. That is the 
way real editors are made. Never plan to write. Never know they can. 
Suddenly pick up a pencil and it slips merrily along over a page, until they 
end up with a jolt and find themselves in the magazines. Clayton Musser 
is not perfectly sure that he wants to keep on editing, but what editor ever is ? 

He has done a good deal of reading in history, economics and literature 
along with his work, but it is not so much as he expected to do. He has been 
active in the Presbyterian Church, being superintendent of the Sunday- 
school and president of the Y. M. C. A. 

"To invent small devices," is his hobby. 

He is another "tariff for revenue" Republican. He has traveled exten- 
sively and no doubt bought things abroad that encountered our jolly little 
tariff laws when he returned. His travels were in England, Ireland and on the 
Continent; in Algeria, Malta, Gibraltar, Egypt, Palestine and Turkey. Prince- 
ton and the reunion tent is right on the road to all these, Clayton. Stop off.

FRANCIS JOHN NASH 

(a be) Manitowoc, Wisconsin 
Law student. 

Born September 14, 1882. Son of Lyman Junius Nash, of New York, and 
Emma A. Guyles Nash, of Waukegan, 111. Prepared at Manitowoc 
High School and Lawrence College Prep. A.B., Princeton, 1906. Mem- 
ber of the Princeton Club of Chicago. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly. 
Attended first, second and third reunions. 

Date and place of Marriage? "I'm no prophet." 

"Nothing of very general interest has occurred to me save development 
of a bald spot." Aphorisms from Jack Nash, Philosopher and Seer. 

"I always wished to go into the law, but circumstances did not permit 
until last year." The law, says Jack, is what he thinks is his forte, but like 
the Connecticut Yankee, adds that of course yon never can tell until you 
have tried them all. We are reserving Jack's little dissertation on "Politics 
in Manitowoc" until the closing chapter of his biography just to show how 
law and statesmanship go hand in hand in Wisconsin. He has read a good 
deal but rather of a desultory nature, he says. 

In sports, he plays a little tennis, golf, skates a little, "and occasionally I 
shove a lawn mower, which is a grand little sport." "Mildly interested in 
social work, boys' work. Big Brothers, but there are none such here," says 
Jack. 

Now for statesmanship: "For Woodrow. Favor a limited government 
supervision of corporations, a revenue tariff with mildly protective features. 
The initiative, referendum and recall of officers, though hardly satisfactorily 
tested, may prove of value under certain circumstances. As to the last, 
(recall of judges) no. I believe in woman suffrage when the women want 
it, but the majority do not want it because they haven't got it. Probably I'd 
be a Middler." 

That epigram on woman suffrage alone. Jack, will pass you your bar 
exams. Good luck ! 

FRED RUSSELL NASON 

(a) Care of Jacob & Moore, Barristers, 416 Mclntyre Block, 

Winnipeg, Canada 

(b) 391 College Avenue, Winnepeg, Manitoba 

Contractor. In the firm of Malloy Brothers & Co., railroad con- 
tractors. 

Born April 12, 1883. Son of F. E. Nason and Edith Nason, both of Massa- 
chusetts. Prepared at Phillips-Andover. Entered Princeton, Feb- 
ruary, 1903. B.A., Princeton, 1906. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. 
Attended fifth reunion. 

151 



Fred sends us a breezy account of himself breathing Canadian out-door 
life, doing "enough riding, shooting, paddling, snow-shoeing to keep fit," 
making some modest study of the Chippewa and Cree Indian tongues now and 
then, stealing off from the prosaic work of grading for railroads to "pump 
old neches for Indian lore." (Neches sounds like something that would fit 
at a reunion. Bring a few down to the Seventh, Fred.) 

A goodly amount of reading — technical work along geodetic and geologic 
lines, interspersed with light fiction to oil the cogs and coal the engine, 
has occupied our Indian man and railroad builder. 

Fred is a member of the Canadian Liberal Party and has been much 
interested in politics, having done everything, he writes, including public 
speaking, "except buy votes" — which would be indicative of scant success 
and a half-done job according to some American politicians who believe 
"Harm alone can be had for the asking." 

Four years of government survey work have kept him busy with the 
vicissitudes and trials of wild bush-life. Real estate and contracting in the 
capacity of the "Co." of Malloy Bros. & Co. have filled up the remaining 
two years. 

A fascinating part of the Continent you are in, Fred. Here's to your 
good fortune ! 



WALTER CHARLES NEIS 

(ab) 74 Maine Street, Madison, N. J. 
(c) lOO Broadway, New York City- 
Lawyer. Managing clerk with Van Schaick & Brice, lOO Broad- 
way, New York. 

Born November 19, 1884. Son of Charles Neis, of New York City, and 
Hettie S. Neis, of Newark, N. J. Prepared at Bordentown Military 
Institute. A.B., Princeton, 1907; LL.B., New York Law School, 1909. 
Member of the Princeton Club of the Oranges. Subscribes to the 
Alumni Weekly. Attended the first, third and fifth reunions. 

"Having become a member of the New York bar, I hope to be able to 
succeed and keep up the high standard of the legal profession," says Walter. 
But we ask why express even the doubt contained in a hope that the legal 
profession will be benefited. The legal profession feels better already 
knowing that you, Walter, are in its midst. The general systematic study of 
the law has kept our barrister busy, as has also a good deal of study in 
economics. 

"Have been engaged in running (not for office)" he writes of athletics, 
"as a member of the track team of the local Y. M. C. A." We regret to 
learn that he is troubled with some illness. "I don't know what to call it.. 
No one seems to know," he tells us. 

His hobby is bowHng. 

152 



Walter is another one of the Woodrow-Wilson-Tariff-±or-revenue-only 
Republicans. He has helped get out the vote in his district. 

JOHN S. NICHOLL* 

In April 1908, his address was 177 Bluff, Yokohama, Japan. He 
was engaged in importing American machinery. 

CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN NICHOLLS, JR. 

(a c) 408 Flatiron Building, New York City 
(b) 239 Central Park West, New York City 

Real estate broker. Treasurer of the Nicholls, Ritter & Goodnow 
Realty Company. 

Born May 14, 1886. Son of Charles C Nicholls, of Camden, N. J., and Julie 
Chamberlain Nicholls, of Philadelphia, Pa. Prepared at Smith Academy, 
St. Louis, Mo. B.A., Princeton 1906. Present at fifth reunion. 

Married Katherine Fitzhugh Ayrault, August 22, 1908, at Milton, Mass. 

Charley Nicholls, in an interesting bit of testimony: "June, 191 1, saw me 
in New York City, transferred very suddenly from my firm's St. Louis office. 
I came closely in touch with a large real estate transaction we were trying to 
negotiate. Things were not progressing very well. One day after numerous 
interviews, I went into the office of the principal of the deal and expected all 
negotiations to be called off. Suddenly one of the older men, the 'main 
spring' of the whole transaction, noticed a button on my lapel. The atmos- 
phere changed, the deal was closed and afterwards, in speaking of it, he 
said it was all on account of the 1906 Princeton button I wore." 

Of the selection of his work, he writes : "Circumstances more mighty 
than will directed it." Life-job? "I hope so. Anything in the line of 
salesmanship suits me." 

Hobby? "Yes, I have a mania for collecting data on the lives of self- 
made men, and read everything on this that comes into my hand." Thus his 
general reading has been largely along this line. History, biography and 
philosophy, also some modern fiction, make up his list, "reading aloud 
several times a week." As for study within the lines of his work, he writes : 
"I read everything on real estate I could lay my hands on. Studied real 
estate law, contracts, torts, sales, in fact the first-year law school curriculum." 

And as a result of all this — ^beware, ye hardworking classmates, of doing 
likewise — ^broke down from overwork and worry in 1907. 

In politics, he has worked getting out the Republican vote, as a member 
of a ward club in St. Louis. Knock down the tariff, let unlimited competi- 
tion be restored, but restrict the corporations only mildly, and let the 
government supervise them "very sanely" — these are a few of the things 
Mr. Beveridge would have to reconcile in order to suit Charley 
politically, if he were elected President, which Charley in the last part of 

153 



ipii wanted to see. Let us have the initiative and the other doctrines, but 

as for woman suffrage — "No, most emphatically, no !" cries out our statesman. 

"The United States is too good to gamble on foreigners", says Charley 

as his conclusion, after traveling extensively in England and on the Continent. 

BOYD NIXON 

(ab) 139 Parkside Drive, Berkeley, Gal. 
(c) 139 Townsend Street, San Francisco, Gal. 

Business. Manager of the machine tool department with Harron, 
Rickard & McGone. 

Born January 6, 1883. Son of J. Boyd Nixon, of Bridgeton, N. J,, and 
Ellen M. Scull Nixon, of Phoenixville, Penn. Prepared at Lawrence- 
ville. Entered Princeton, 1900; left 1903. 

Married Josephine Leaming Whitney, April 14, 1910, at Glassboro, N. J. 
John Whitney Nixon, born June 17, 191 1, at Berkeley, Cal. 

Another old friend bobbed up in answer to the circular. We send 
greetings to you. Brother Nixon, and a welcome! 

In the State where Gov. Hiram Johnson holds forth, everybody is 
expected to be a Bull Mooser, we have heard. Boyd Nixon says that he is no 
exception and chooses T. Roosevelt for next President. He is in line with 
the rest of California and speaks for the initiative and the other new 
measures, also for woman suffrage. He is a Republican; golf is his sport; 
and his work was his choice. He has traveled in every state we have. 

JOSEPH HENRY NUELLE 

(ab) 90 Linden Avenue, Middletown, N. Y. 
(c) Gare of the New York, Ontario &: Western Railway, 
Middletown, N. Y. 

Engineer. In maintenance of way department, N. Y., O. & W. Ry. 

Born April 9, 1881. Son of J. H. Nuelle, of Hanover, Germany, and Mary 
Neulle, Milwaukee, Wis. Prepared at Phillips-Exeter Academy. En- 
tered Princeton, September, 1903. C.E., Princeton, 1906. 

Married Myrtle Clare Skeeles, October 12, 1907, in Chicago, 111. 

Myrtle Elizabeth Nuelle, born November 26, 1910, Chicago, 111. 

Joe Neulle has devoted most of his time to studies directly in line with 
his engineering work, specializing on bridge loadings and stresses. He chose 
railroad work and intends making it his life-job. 

Woodrow Wilson has won his support, but the suffragettes have fallen 
short. He is a conservative Republican, but forgets it for a time while he 
endorses the initiative, referendum and recall, also a revenue tariff and 
restoration of unlimited competition in business. But the Republicans will 

154 



forgive you all this, Joe, to know that you have felt nothing but good effects 
and increased physical endurance from your college running and football.

WALTER TOMKINS ODELL 

(a b c) Tomkins Cove, New York 

Assistant Engineer of the Tomkins Cove Stone Co. 

Born December 29, 1884. Son of R. I. Odell, of Tarrytown, N. Y., and 
A. S, Tomkins Odell, of East Orange, N. J. Prepared at Lawrence- 
ville, N, J. B.A., Princeton, February, 1907. Member of the Alumni 
Association of Northern New York. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. 

Hist, ye Classmates, here is Walter Odell home in the U. S. A. for a 
minute. Keep quiet and let him talk. He has to catch the next steamer for 
the Island of Wap. That seems to be the only place on the globe he has not 
yet visited. Walter is our best young traveler to date. He has been from 
the Atlantic to the Pacific five times both on business and pleasure. He has 
traveled in Canada and Alaska. And besides this, he has taken in the 
Continents of Asia, Africa and Europe, not to mention the Philippine Islands. 
This is some record for you engineers to follow. 

Little breezes like this from all kinds of foreign parts blow out from 
Walter's circular every now and then : "Had some fun working in the gold 
and copper mines of Alaska during the summer of 1911"; "Strongly inter- 
ested in the Philippines and Alaska because I know something about them." 

In addition to his engineering work, he has taken up forestry. He 
studied the subject for a year in the University of Washington. 

Travel and engineering do not take all his time. Walter is a boxer. 
"When in Seattle (notice that little touch of the traveler), I belong to the 
Naval Reserve," he says of organization and sport, "and I represent them 
in the ring." His sports are boxing and distance running and he writes 
that he does a good deal of both. 

155 



"Did a little cross-country running and boxing in college and the effects, 
were very good," is another addition to the credit side of athletics in our 
experience meetings. 

As he has been in the Philippines, in Asia, and in Africa, and has 
probably a first-hand knowledge of missions, his opinion of these is inter- 
esting. He writes : "I am very much in favor of medical missions and 
manual training and athletics, but am not strong for the religious part." 
He declares himself as interested in social and boys' work, but has not had 
a chance to take an active part yet. His work was selected as a result of 
circumstances and he does not intend to stay at it. 

Once more a Republican in training, he is a Democrat in expression of 
political creed, favoring Woodrow Wilson and a revenue tariff. He advo- 
cates the new schemes of government.

at the Western High School, Washington, D. C. B.A., Princeton, 1906 ; 
LL.B., Harvard, 1909. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. 

Married Norah Worthington, October 5, 1910, at Roslyn, Md. 

Norah Worthington Offutt, born August 24, 191 1, in Washington, D. C. 

Poor George ! Poor Woodrow ! George likes Woodrow, wants to vote 
for him. But he can't. He lives in the District of Columbia. Saying which, 
and adding that George is a conservative in politics and a member of the 
Methodist Church, will have to suffice ye classmates hungering for news 
until the next record, for George doesn't tell us any more for further 
publication this time.

Jack Ormond still wrestling? We should say he is. And if you want to 
know it, every brother who has followed Jack to college has followed in his 
illustrious wrestling footsteps and half-Nelsons and been the fear of death to 
all the Freshmen, Sophomores and wrestlers from other colleges who have 
faced them. 

"Wrestled in college," says Jack, "and have felt good effects in general 
physical condition," 

But besides wrestling, Jack has had a good deal of work on hand for 
he has set his eye on medicine as his profession, and though he started late, 
after three years of teaching, he is making rapid strides and will be in his 
chosen work before long. Jack's intimates look for him to connect up his 
interest in religious and social work with his profession. He is interested 
m boys' club work and in foreign missions. In politics, he is a V/oodrow 
Wilson man and calls himself a "radical"; is in favor of the "I., R. and R.," 
and also smiles benignly on votes for women, 

ARTHUR ORR 

(a) Care of the State Bank of Chicago, 111. 

(b) 39 East Schiller Street, Chicago, 111. 

Studying the management of estates, also taking a course in law. 

Born October 4, 1884. Son of Arthur Orr and Eleanor Noyes Orr, both of 
of Indiana. Prepared at Lawrenceville. B.S., Princeton 1906. Sub- 
scribes to Alumni Weekly. Has been out of the country at the time 
of the reunions. 

Married Alice McK. Meigs, July 9, 1908, at Keokuk, la. 

Arthur Orr, Jr., born October 28, 1909, at Marlow, England. 
Montgomery M. Orr, born June 7, 191 1, Petropolis, Brazil. 

Arthur Orr writes that he hopes to go back into the diplomatic service 
in about ten years. Meanwhile he is devoting himself to the study of the 
management of estates and taking a law course in Chicago. He returned to 
this country in 191 1. While in Paris, he studied international law, but did 
not get a degree. He has done considerable study of questions related to 
diplomatic work and a fair amount of general reading. Travel, reading, 
music, — in other wise, with Sinclair Hamilton, "the humanities and fine 
arts" — are his special interests. He plays the full list of sports of the 
diplomat, — tennis, golf and racquets when possible, and is fit to qualify in any 
International Tennis Cabinet that may spring up. But Arthur is careful not 
to mention any choice for President. Diplomats, formal and informal, or 
both, usually observe this little bit of etiquette. In lieu thereof, he says 
that he is a "Middler." He beHeves in "gentle but firm" supervision of 
corporations. 

"Hope to be at the next reunion," he writes, a sentiment that we warmly 
re-echo.

(b) 34 West Seventy-third Street, New York City 

Banking and brokerage. Junior member of the firm of Pearl & 
Co., bankers and brokers. 

Born February 13, 1884. Son of Dyer Pearl, of Nashville, Tenn., and 
Euphemia C. Pearl, of Flushing, N. Y. Prepared at Morse School, 
N. Y. BA., Princeton 1906. Member of the Princeton Club of 
New York. Attended first and third reunions. 

Married Bessie Mayell Phipps, May 28, 1912, in New York. 

Dyer Pearl has the distinction of being the only representative of the 
Class on the New York Stock Exchange. His work was his definite choice. 
Tennis and golf constitute his recreations. Of course, since his engagement 
and marriage, we leave it to the Class to guess what his special interest is. 

OLIVER HAZARD PERRY, JR. 

(ab) Elmhurst, Long Island, New York 

(c) 340 Madison Avenue, New York City 

Real estate. Salesman, with Pease & EUiman, Inc. 

Born November 19, 1883. Son of O. H. Perry, of Newport, R. I., and Maria 
Moore Perry, of Newtown, L. I. Prepared at Cutler School, N. Y. 
B.A., Princeton 1906. Member of the Princeton Club of New York. 
Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Has attended all the reunions. 

"More beer and bands!" Can you beat that for alliteration and emo- 
tionalism? The Perrys always have been given to epigrams, though in and 
out of reunions. 

Outside this plea for the plodding, Ollie divulges few secrets or family 
skeletons. He doesn't even have a favorite — for President of course. He 
is a conservative Republican naturally and is fond of votes for women. 

"Yurrop" is one of his favorite lands.

Born January 26, 1882. Son of William Petrie and Afra Petrie. Prepared at 
Puloski High School. B.A,, Princeton 1906. Attended the first and 
fifth reunions. 

Pete is a "revenue-tariff-Republican" who was for Taft when he answered 
his circular. He contributes his services to the State as a watcher on election 
day and his public spirit he tries to inject into others by canvassing votes. 
His work has been his choice and he intends to make it his life-pursuit, 
Where is the next good place to put a sky-scraper in New York? Pete is the 
next builder on the docket, based on the success of Woolworth. 

HENRY DOUGLAS PIERCE, JR. 

(ab) 1415 North Meridian Street, Indianapolis, Ind. 
. (c) 200 Indiana Trust Building, Indianapolis 

Lawyer. Associated with Walker & Hollett. 

Born December 12, 1883. Son of Henry Douglas Pierce and Elizabeth V. 
Pierce, of Indianapolis, Ind. Prepared at Hill School and Mercers- 
burg Academy. A.B., Princeton 1906; LL.B., Harvard Law School, 
1909. Member of the Princeton Alumni Association of Indiana. Sub- 
scribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended first and third reunions. 

Doug has shown much interest in politics since he left Harvard. During 
the Taft-Roosevelt primary struggle, he ran for precinct committeeman, a tie 
vote being cast. It was finally settled in favor of Doug. He wrote of it: 
"Perhaps you noticed by the papers that Indiana has been seeing quite a 
struggle between the Taft and Roosevelt people. I conscientiously desired 
to lend my support to the President and as my opponent favored Roosevelt, 
the 'machine' saw fit to appoint me Precinct Committeeman, although this 
was not the reason assigned. It has been lots of fun and excitement at our 
various primaries and in the State convention has been great." 

In addition to this, as an enrolled Republican he has helped the organiza- 
tion by getting out the vote on election days and watching at the polls. He 
is also working with the City Study Club of Indianapolis. He has done a 
good deal of work along social lines, acting as probation officer in the juvenile 
court, and as a member of the Legal Aid Association furnishing legal services 
without charge to the Charity Organization Society. 

While not yet a member of any teams or organizations he is at present 

159 



considering joining the Battery State Militia. His chief sport since graduation 
has been tennis. 

He has traveled in Japan, China, Corea, on the Continent, in Great 
Britain, and in 25 of the United States. He is much interested in Japan, 
Holland and Italy, he writes, "because of their history, political progress, 
picturesqueness and art." 

HOWARD OLMSTEAD PIERSON 

(ab) 85 East Avenue, Nor walk, Conn, 
(c) 115 Broadway, New York City 

Lawyer. With Shaffer, Howell & Hinds. 

Born April 24, 1884, in New York City. Son of Walter Howard Pierson, of 
Exeter, New Hampshire, and Ida A. Olmstead Pierson, of New 
York City. B.A., Princeton 1906. Member of the Princeton Club of 
New York. Attended the first and fifth reunions. 

Hop Pierson, of the famous trio in the law with Shaffer, Howell, and 
Hinds — Roger Hinds, Henri Schwob and Hop himself, joint composer and 
singer with Roger of one of our best-known young reunion ballads, — gentle- 
men, we have him with us now. 

Hop has been a watcher at the polls at elections. He is a conservative in 
political faith and is for Wilson. All outdoor summer sports receive court 
from him, and in philanthropy, the Newsboys' Home Club gets his interest. 

RICHARD STEADMAN PITTS 

(a) Warwick, Orange County, N. Y. 

(b) Y. M. C A. Paterson, N. J. (Temporary) 

(c) 58 Park Street, Newark, N. J. 

Construction work. With the Charles T. Pitts Co., Inc., superintend- 
ent of concrete construction. 

Born March 22, 1884. Son of George Frederic Pitts, of Warwick, N. Y., 
and NelHe Steadman Pitts, of Hoboken, N. J. Prepared at Warwick 
High School. Left Princeton, February, 1907. Attended fifth reunion. 

Yours is a sad case, Dick. Have you tried everything? Hearken to the 
plaint of Dick Pitts. 

Believe in woman suffrage? "No — sister a suffragette." 
Dick is in the business of turning his efforts into stone, through the 
working of circumstances. Life-job? "Not if I can prevent it." 
Political party? "Mugwump." 

Why not vote regularly? "Lack of a faith in candidates." 
Political work done? "Talked for Federal pay bill for military pre- 
paredness." Dick has studied military matters as an outside interest. He is 

160 



a conservative, standing for the President, though Mr. Taft if elected will 
have to do better on the tariff if he wants to please Dick's revenue tariff 
ideas. A large reunion, not necessarily in decorations, but in numbers, is his 
idea for the Seventh. 

JOHN POGUE* 

(a) 2312 Park Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 

Business. Assistant manager of H. & S. Pogue Co., dry goods. 
(In 1909) 

THOMAS ALBERT POTTER 

(a) 191 3 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 

(c) Care of the Quaker Oats Company, Railway Exchange, 
Chicago, 111. 

Business. With the Quaker Oats Co. 

Born June 16, 1884. Son of Henry C. Potter, of Philadelphia, Pa., and Emily 
G. Potter, of Boston. Prepared at Lawrenceville. Member of the 
Princeton Club of Philadelphia. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. 
Attended the first reunion. 

There is only one thing in Albert Potter's existence at the present 
writing, we are informed, that is of any interest to him at all. This is the 
fact that he is engaged to Miss Horn, sister of Howard Horn 1907. Our best 
congratulations to you. Pot! And this in spite of the fact that we expected 
to have the privilege of sitting with you. twenty years from now, unmated 
and unloved, in comfortable bachelor arm chairs, psalming to the sweetly 
solemn grandeur of singleness. 

Pot has spent most of his time abroad in the last several years, chiefly 
superintending construction and near-pioneer work of the Quaker Oats 
Company in Germany. He is much interested in the land as a result. He 
returned to this country last winter, 1911-1912, in time to attend the mid- 
winter dinner at the Princeton Club, for which many rejoiced. He is a 
conservative, a Wilson man, and out for a revenue tariff. His professional 
specialty has been mechanical work. He has read much in history and 
economics. Golf and tennis are his sports. His stay abroad has brought 
him into almost every country of Europe, also the north of Africa. 

We count this special interest of Pot's one of the finest we have read : 

"The betterment of the laboring man." 

STANTON GREENE PRENTISS*

Banking. With the Hayden-Clinton National Bank, Columbus, Ohio 
(In 1909)

CHARLES PRESBREY 

(a c) 456 Fourth Avenue, New York City 
(b) The Belnord, Broadway & Eighty-sixth Street, New York 
City 

Advertising. Director of Frank Presbrey Co., advertising agents. 

Born March 30, 1882. Son of Frank Presbrey, of Buffalo, N, Y., and Stella 
Presbrey, of Maysville, Ky. Prepared at Lawrenceville. Litt.B., 
Princeton 1906. Member of the Princeton Club of New York. Has 
attended all reunions. 

Charley writes enthusiastically of having found his life-"work", chiefly 
arranged by circumstances, in advertising. Life-job? "You bet," says 
Charles. On the side he dabbles in politics. He is a Special Deputy 
Sheriff of New York County by appointment. Our greetings to that sturdy 
officer of the peace. Sheriff Julius Harburger! 

Charley is a member of the G. O. P., but does not go so far as to hold 
office or speak from cart-tails during elections. 

When asked "Do you vote regularly at elections?" he replied — "as often 
as possible," which is our idea of some repeater. But, of course. New York 
City and Julius Harburger have their inevitable influence upon the best of our 
nation's youth. 

Charles is Radical, Conservative, Middler, whichever you wish, with 
emphatic opinions against the initiative, referendum and recall. Unlike his 
great and noble chief, The Hon. Julius — who appointed women deputy 
sheriffs galore until he discovered the law was ag'in him — Charles is against 
woman suffrage. He puts Woodrow Wilson in the first place of his choice for 
President on sentiment. 

Since leaving college, he has been in many of the United States and in 
Canada, and abroad, chiefly on business. He is interested in the East Side 
Settlement House. Golf, he indulges in frequently and successfully. 

There is a touch of pathos in a note at the end of his circular. "I have not 
done anything startling," it reads. "All my income (almost) goes to wedding 
presents. Have stuck to advertising pretty closely," 

Advertising men tell us that Charley is making headway — a com- 
ment that lends flavor to his modest record and speaks eloquently of the 
gorgeousness of his wedding gifts. 

THOMAS JEX PRESTON, JR.* 

(a) 151 Irving Avenue, South Orange, N. J. 

(b) Wells College, Aurora, N. Y. 

162 



Educational. Acting President (Spring Term, 1912) and holder of 
the chair of archaeology and the history of art at Wells College. 

C.E., Columbia University; Litt.B., Princeton 1906; M.A,, Princeton, 1907; 
Ph.D., Princeton 191 1. 

Tom Preston — we refuse to address him reverently right at the beginning 
— has led us a merry whirl trying to keep track of the degrees, fellowships, 
professorships, and college presidencies, that are shot at him every now and 
then. Even now, we are not certain that we have not missed a batch he cap- 
tured from the ItaHans or ancient Greeks, because he refuses to give up and 
we have to worm information out of records and things. We wish to get this 
set down, however, because we can vouch for it — that Dr. Tom Preston has 
attained a position of leadership in the educational world and is a high 
authority in his subject. His executive ability was recognized immediately 
by the trustees of Wells College in the short period of his work there and the 
acting presidency as well as several other flattering offers, we are told, was 
the result. 

After three years abroad under the fellowship in Mediaeval and 
Renaissance Studies of the Archaeological Institute of America and one of the 
three fellowships of the American School of Classical Studies at Rome, Tom 
received his Ph.D. at Princeton on examination in January, 191 1. He 
accepted the chair in archaeology and the history of art at Wells College and 
•started his work there in the fall term of 191 1. Upon the resignation of 
President George M. Ward of Wells, in the latter part of 191 1, Dr. Preston 
Wias elected ac acting president until the election of a succeesor. He con- 
tinued in this capacity until June 1912. At the annual meeting of the Archae- 
ological Institute of America in Pittsburgh in January, 1912, he delivered a 
lecture on "The Apocrypha and the Annunciation in Art." 

The Class extends to Tom its heartiest congratulations upon his engagement 
to Mrs. Cleveland, announced October 30, 1912. The Class is proud to wel- 
come as an honorary member Princeton's distinguished friend. To Mrs. 
Cleveland and to Tom, Nineteen Six sends warmest best wishes. 

COLE BRIXTON PRICE • 

(ab) 1727 North Washington Avenue, Scranton, Pa. 
(c) 406-8 Board of Trade Building, Scranton, Pa. 

Lawyer. Member of the firm of S. B. and C. B, Price, attorneys. 

Eorn April 12, 1883. Son of Samuel B. Price, of Branchville, N. J., and Julia 
Hosie Price, of Tamaqua, Pa. Prepared at Blair Hall. A.B., Prince- 
ton 1906. Member of the Princeton Alumni Association of North- 
eastern Pennsylvania. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Has attended 
all the reunions. 

Reunions? "Attended all of them and don't stop them," says Cole. 

163 



Law ? "Always intended to go into it and think it suits as well as any." This 
latter is explained by Cole in a note — "One trouble I find with the practice of 
law is that there is enoligh to do to keep one busy all the time if one wants to 
be." It is our secret opinion. Cole, that it is extremely hard luck that any of 
us have to work at all. There ought to be a pension system for college gradu- 
ates instead of all this woman suffrage talk. 

"Get all the study, research, writing and lecturing necessary in business," 
writes Cole with convincing directness. He has done some reading, however, 
in economics and fiction. He is a Democrat and for Wilson. "There must 
be some control of corporations but no interference with state rights," he 
v/arns us. Woman suffrage? "No. Unless general suffrage is based on an 
educational and property basis." 

Thanks for your invitation for a ride over good Pennsylvania roads with 
fine scenery. Cole. Be on the watch for us. 

JAMES McALPIN PYLE 

(ac) 55 Wall Street, New York City 
- (b) 673 Fifth Avenue, New York City 

Lawyer. Managing law clerk with Shearman & Sterling. 

Born December 12, 1884. Prepared at Mr. Browning's, New York City. 
A.B., Princeton 1906; LL.B., Harvard, 1909. Member of the Princeton 
Club of New York. "Subscriber to Alumni Weekly? No!" Attended 
fifth reunion. 
Married Anita Merle-Smith, April 29, 1912, in New York City. 

Mac Pyle does not vote regularly. This, of course in itself, is not suffi- 
cient to discourage popular government, and besides, he must have good 
reason for it, "mainly philosophical and too long to write," says Mac. More 
distressing than this, however, is the loss to the country of Mac as a political 
leader. Tobacco smoke, it seems, did most of the damage. 

Mac writes : "Served on Assembly committee but gave it up. Too much 
cigar smoke at meetings and nothing ever was done." We are happy Mac 
left that smoky committee immediately. One does not, of course, grudge the 
smoky smelling their delights in life — even if some of our own classmates 
do persist in attending reunions and drinking beer and filling the tent with 
noisome smoke. We rejoice that Mac can now say of politics and statecraft, 
"I should rather sit back and watch the show." 

Again, if Mac had gone in for politics, he might not have had time to 
get out to the meets of The Essex Hunt at Gladstone, N. J., to "ride to 
hounds Saturday afternoons, fall and winter." The fox alone would have been 
advantaged, if this had happened. 

Mac has done considerable reading along the lines of comparative religion, 
also history and socialism. He is interested in the work of foreign missions, 
but not actively. He has traveled in 20 states, in the British Isles and in 
Europe.

EWING LAWRENCE RAFFERTY 

(a) 129 Bakewell Building, Pittsburgh, Pa. 

(b) Wilkens Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. 

(c) United Oil Co., Pittsburgh 

Oil business. Salesman with the United Oil Co. 

Born May 14, 1883. Son of Bernard F. Rafferty and Mary Ewing RafFcrty, 
both of Pittsburgh. Prepared at Princeton Prep. Litt.B., Prince- 
ton igo6. Member of the Princeton Club of Western Pennsylvania. 
Attended first reunion. 

You are not going to get it! All you classmates of Ewing's who are 
expecting so expectantly a careful treatise from him on the Ethics of Politics 
— you can't have anything of the kind. Ewing pleaded to be allowed to write 
one, but we wouldn't stand for any philosophical or ethical essays in this 
book. We open instead with a few Ewingtonian remarks. This for a cur- 
tain raiser : 
"Dear Authors, 

"Enclosed find some of the dope requested in the circular sent out some 
time ago, and pardon me for not answering sooner. Hope you are on the 
road to fame and riches. I'm not making any seven league strides and I guess 
the ONLY REMEDY IS TO LAND AN OLD WOMAN WITH A MIL- 
LION AND A BAD COUGH. Trust my answers to your questions will not 
cause any flurries in Wall street nor any hitch in the destinies of the Nation. 
I'm also ashamed to say that I haven't done anything much for Princeton 
except to give a couple of cheers every time a chicken in an Orange and 
Black hat comes along. Had hoped to go on to Shave Vanderbilt's wedding 
and down a flagon of the wine of old Champagne to him with you all but the 
Gods and St. Denis were unwilling. 

Yours, 

Ewing." 

The scene now shifts to Abyssinia. Ewing, you must know, is intensely 
interested in this country. We thought at first he was hunting that old woman 
with a million and a cough down there among the coal-skinned queens of the 
banyan trees. But this is wrong. "Brother on expedition there" is the best 
answer E. Lawrence can cook some. 

Next, a little melodrama. The Rafferty appears in the costume of his 
noble ancestors, born in Rome and educated in Ireland under Caesar. He's a 
Roman patrician with a chaplet on his brow, a tunic hung under his arm, a 
skirt of armor-plate and bare knees, sandals and a cuirass. How in the name 
of antiquity they ever succeeded in photographing Raff in these togs before 
he came to, no Pittsburgher ever attempts to explain. But they did it and 
we've got the picture. Watch for the Decennial Book. It is to be pub- 
lished then as the prize of the book. Whether he is a Roman gladiator, an 
Irish Druid, or Gyp the Blood, no one but Caesar himself would dare hazard 
a guess, 

165 



The scene is now on Mt. Parnassus. Aphrodite and a few other good- 
lookers sitting up stage. Ewing seated at table opposite in deep thought, 
forefinger of right hand just tipping knitted brow. Several of the extra good- 
looking Muses done in the latest Grecian summer draperies sitting on Ewing's 
knee. No uncommon sight. The muse of Poetry is with him. He is wilting 
her a few poems and also a book. You don't believe it? Listen to Poet 
Rafferty himself in his modest silver-toned remarks under "Intellectual Work 
Done" : 

"Wrote a couple of bum poems and a book I got stuck with." 

Ewing, we appeal to the Class ! Why don't you give us a fair chance 
and write a poem or two for this book and let us have a look at your book, 
beside? Announcement Number 2 for the Decennial — Ewing Rafferty, Con- 
tributing Editor. 

We admit a little Rafferty politics in tribute to Bill Flinn. Government 
supervision of corporations and to what extent? 

"To beat hell." 

Woman suffrage? "Don't care." 

Ewing is for Wilson. 

In sports, he is a member of the Pittsburgh Athletic Association and of 
the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Infantry. He referees once in a while. He has 
felt good effects from his college football and hockey. 

Ewing is active in the Catholic Church. "Drop a quarter in the box on 
Sundays," saith he. 

Announcement cards for his wedding are about to be sent out. Date and 
place of marriage are "February 30, 2000, in some insane asylum." This 
wedding must have already taken place 2000 B. C. for our Raff has children — 
(sad thing) — "Poverty, Hope and Remorse," says he. 

Raff, please write us a few remarks in your best $2 a yard verse with some 
Mutt and Jeff pictures next shot, won't you? 

CHARLES MUTHART REBERT 

(a) 312 Evans Street, Pottstown, Pa. 

Teaching. Instructor in Smith Academy, Washington University, 
St. Louis. 

Born January 11, 1882. Son of William C. Rebert, of Fegleysville, Pa., and 
Mary Muthart Rebert, of Bechtelsville, Pa. Prepared at Hill School, 
Pottstown, Pa. A.B., Princeton 1906; A.M., Princeton 1907. 

Married Effie A. Ritter, at Wilmington, Del. 

Charley begins by saying "my profession was chosen," and adds defiantly 
"both eyes open." He intends to follow it for life and feels certain that it 
is the work for which he is best suited. As he was a Fellow in Mental Science 
at Princeton, and continued his studies in psychology and pedagogy at the 
Lhiiversity of Pennsylvania, taking special work in the examination and 
training of defective children, including clinical psychology, when we catch 

166 



our breath we are going to agree that from all past indications, he did choose 
both wisely and well. Between whiles, and by way of mental relaxation, no 
doubt, he says that he has since graduation skimmed through a few dozen 
books on "economic and social science, philosophy, and fiction having a social 
interest." 

Politically he is a Republican, and has done work for that party; but he 
does not believe in unlimited competition, as that would be a "reversion in 
business evolution." He does believe in government supervision of corpora- 
tions, even to the extent of "full public ownership," rather astonishing doc- 
trine for a Republican. He is for "tariff for revenue", for the "I. R. and R," 
as applied to officers and judges; considers himself a Radical, and favors 
Woodrow for President. All of which tends to show that no matter how 
radical a man may be in his beliefs, he wants to have a fairly conservative 
process in their adoption. 

Physically, Charles has held an equally strenuous pace. He belongs to the 
High School Alumni football team and has had charge of track teams and 
football, baseball and rowing. He states that he has experienced none but 
good effects from his athletic work in college and has been told by his 
physician that his track training accounts for his excellent lungs. 

Charles has also done yeoman's service in the religious field, having 
devoted some time both to the "Men and ReHgion Forward Movement", and 
to the establishment of a Boys' Free Reading Room. Outside of business and 
his profession, he confesses to having as his hobbies "Raising fancy poultry 
and Socialism." (In parenthesis we feel that we must caution Charles against 
raising them too intimately. Suppose he finds that brother Marx will want 
him to divide up those chickens' eggs at a reunion? Then what?) 

To cap the climax of Charles' erudite record, comes this humanistic sen- 
tence "The one interesting feature in an otherwise calm and fairly uneventful 
existence is the annual summer vacation, with its fishing and camping joys." 
Go to them, Charles ; if ever man earned them, you have, and we wish right 
heartily we could be with you in your piscatorial pastimes. 

HOWARD BECK REED 

(a be) Seabright, N. J.

Born March i8, 1884. Son of J. J. Reed, M.D., of Long Branch, N. J., and 
Carrie Ferry Reed, of New Jersey. Prepared at Chattle. B.S., Prince- 
ton 1906; M.D., Columbia University. Subscribes to the Alumni 
Weekly. Member of the Princeton Club of New York. Attended first 
and third reunions. 

Married Mabel Arlington Dennis, October i, 1910, at Princeton, N. J. 
Howard Beck Reed, Jr., born July 12, 191 1, at Seabrignt, N. J. 
The old-time practice which had the Doctor of the community as one of 

the leaders in its civic life is well illustrated in our Doctor Howard Beck of 

Seabright. Howard has attained an enviable position of public confidence and 

167 



favor in his community, in its public life as well as in his private practice and 
profession. He holds the responsible places of Borough Physician and also 
President of the Board of Health, to both of which he was appointed. In 
addition, he has been elected Inspector of Schools. He is not active in poHtical 
work, but in his creed of politics, Woodrow Wilson appears to be the first 
canon, if three exclamation points behind his name mean anything. He is 
a conservative, but does favor government regulation of corporations to the 
full, and also the initiative, referendum and recall, though not woman 
suffrage. 

The literary work that distinguished him in college, he continues. It is 
his hobby or special interest, and a list of writing that he has done regularly 
outside the calls of his profession, is illustrative of his activity. He has done 
short story writing and verse. Besides this, he has lectured on hygiene and 
sanitation, personal and public. Which all leads us to believe that Howard 
has lead an active as well as an absorbing life in this merry vale of turmoil. 

Another part of his public spirit is evidenced in his church work. He is 
district steward of the Methodist church and is also treasurer of the church. 
Pie is a director of the Y. M. C. A., where he lectures on health. He has 
traveled in the British Isles, France and Bermuda. 

We missed you at the Fifth, Doctor Howard, and hope to see you at the 
Seventh. 

SAMUEL JACKSON REID, JR. 

(ab) 757 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. 
(c) 85 Clinton Street, Brooklyn 

Lawyer. Trial attorney in the Law Department of the Brooklyn 
Rapid Transit Company. 

Born September 24, 1883. Son of Samuel J. Reid of New York City and 
Elizabeth M. Reid of Brooklyn, N. Y. Prepared at Boy's High School, 
Brooklyn. A.B., Princeton 1906; LL.B., New York Law School 1908. 
Member of the Princeton Club of New York. Subscribes to the 
Alumni Weekly. Has attended all reunions. 

Princeton, politics, law; Canada, cavalry, baseball — the outline of a 
composite picture of Samuel Jackson Reid, Jr. There are lots of fillers for 
this digest of our Jackson's life of joys and six years' length since college, 
but these are the main lines. Some admiring lassie back in the ages when 
ladies used to admire our jaunty college man poise, once burst out in rapture 
over S. Jackson as he was doing a three second circuit of the bags for the 
home plate, — "Oh, oh ! How his feet twinkle !" Now of course, Jackson has 
forgotten since then that there are such creatures as lassies, but at the risk of 
his high displeasure, we hand down this aphorism for posterity and for 
another reason, as follows. His feet, figuratively speaking, have been twink- 
ling ever since. 

In the first place they have been twinkling most effectively in the last few 

168 



years all over the countenances of a collection of opposing counsel, particu- 
larly those of a certain persuasion, who talk with their hands and dwell in 
Brownsville, Brooklyn, and Hester Street, New York, and whose. practice it 
has been to bleed anybody who has blood, for a consideration unto them- 
selves. Of course, for the poor down-trodden Brooklyn Rapid Transit 
Company we all have the deepest compassion ! And Samuel could wring 
tears and verdicts from any jury in its behalf, when ruthless people, who 
have carelessly divorced themselves from a leg or two under the wheels of 
its trolley cars, insist on having a dollar or so for pocket money as the 
result. But even if the B. R. T, does find itself the richer thereby, we send 
up praises of burnt offering and incense that our Samuel has twinkled so 
merrily over said countenances of said opposing consellors. 

If you people far from Brooklyn, meaning Charley Baiter and his en- 
gloomed colleagues who dwell in darkest Manhattan or more deeply darkest 
Short Hills, do not understand all the foregoing, permit us to say that Sam is 
trial lawyer in accident cases for the electric transit line that owns Brooklyn. 
As such he has had the rare opportunity for a young lawyer of constant court 
work not including the three months every summer which he spends in a 
different brand of court work in romantic Canada. We have heard from 
sources unimpeachable that if the B. R. T. doesn't watch out it will have 
itself at the feet of our Jackson very shortly, while he plays the role of 
General Counsel. Suffice it to say, that meanwhile S. J. R. is contenting 
himself writing legal opinions in accident law that are handed up to the 
Court of Appeals of New York State and set down in the codes of that 
Commonwealth as precedents (see New York Law Review). 

Here is an anecdote we relate at the expense of repetition to a few. Sam 
argued eloquently before a jury for the well-known "square deal". His intro- 
duction was "square deal", his peroration "square deal". The jury was 
beautifully obliging. They filed in solemnly, justice measured in every step. 
"We award the plaintiff $300 damages," droned the foreman, "and to the 
defendant (our Samuel and his company) a 'square deal'." Defendant's 
counsel and jurymen immediately adjourned to the nearest bar. 

But to continue twinkling. Sam has twinkled very effectively for Prince- 
ton. We are just speaking now in the family circle so nobody can object to a 
little family pride. S. Jackson needn't listen to this, if he doesn't want to. 
It doesn't require our testimony to let the Class know that he is a real 
President, the old fashioned kind who believe that in being President it 
isn't all honor but mostly all work. This age of dummy directorship hasn't 
liad a peep-in at our Class and never will so far as the President is 
concerned. That is all. Everybody knows that Sam has taken the 
responsibility of leadership for every reunion we have had, an unprece- 
dented thing for a Class president to do. He is on hand for all committee 
meetings in the work of the Class in New York, its dinners and other 
business. Besides this, he is kept on the jump in Princeton work in 
other directions. He has been active in the Princeton Club of New York 
and is one of the heavy boosters of the young Long Island Association. 

169 



Did anybody mention baseball? If they did, we must admit that pri- 
vately Sam still owns up to a little knowledge of the game with which he 
adds to the glory of Brooklyn and the Crescent Club every Saturday after- 
noon in the spring time before he leaves for his annual three months hunting 
trip with Bill Brewster and other big game hunters in Western Canada. 
He keeps up his soccer, — ^you remember of course that he and Al Potter 
were the proud progenitors of the game at Princeton — and helps out the 
Crescent team every now and then. 

But the real thing that occupies Sam athletically now is doing the heavy 
trooper act with Squadron C of the New York State miHtia. Yes, thank 
you, his legs are long enough — we don't fancy that word "long" — and agile 
enough to span three horses' backs, riding standing-bareback, so they let 
Sam in to fight for his State and to spend pleasant Saturday afternoons in 
the fall at Huntington, L. I., riding cross country. He has been rolled three 
times under the feet of the whole troop's horses as a little mirthful amuse- 
ment for himself, and come out without a scratch. 

This may help to explain the first two of Sam's three hobbies, — "Ath- 
letics, military work and politics.'' Besides baseball, he is active in tennis, 
riding, hunting, climbing and walking. "Good effects," he says of the results 
of his college athletics. "The training at college led to good habits in 
exercise and in the manner of living. They were the foundation of health." 

There is a place called Banff. From July i to September 15 every year, 
it is only famous for one thing. Reid is there. Other times the scenery 
and the mountain goats are among the attractions. The goats haven't a 
chance when S. Jackson is in thei offing. We don't mean it quite that way. 
We mean as social attractions, the goats don't cut much figure while Reid is 
visiting. Indeed, though, quite a number of goats manage to keep right on 
living in spite of S. Jackson's automatic field gun. But the history of S. 
Jackson in Canada, shooting things up, treking into the Arctic Circle, locating 
rich investment fields, — the Reid Investment and Exploration Company may 
be expected any minute, — honoring the coast cities with visits if not stump 
speeches, and coming back regularly to quiet New York, — all this is a 
separate story which we must not spoil now. 

Into politics, Sam is just busting. He ran for district leader of the 
Republican fold in 191 1, just for the fun of it. He got all the fun. The 
other fellow got the job. So they called it quits for the time being. Sam 
has said, though, that he will be that district leader. So we expect him to be. 
In national politics, he is a conservative Republican, for Taft. He believes 
in protection and is against all the new styles of government. He advocates 
unlimited competition in business and is for Federal incorporation with 
laws compelling publicity and regulating stock and bond issues. 

He is a member of the Grace Presbyterian Church. He is much interested 
in Canada, "because of its scenery and its financial prospects." 

Mr. President, alias plain Sam ! We wish you all the success you 
deserve and are achieving !

GEORGE HENRY REPPERT 

(ac) Construction Department, Otis Elevator Co., Eleventh 
Avenue and Twenty-sixth Street, New York City 
(b) 44 West Forty- fourth Street, New York City 

Engineer. With the Otis Elevator Co., as electrical engineer in the 
construction department. 

Born February 14, 1885. Son of Harry Reppert and Nancy Reppert. Pre- 
pared at Holbrook's Military Academy. B.S,, Princeton, 1906; B.S., in 
electrical engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1909. 
Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Member of the Princeton Club of 
New York. Has attended all the reunions. 

Rep is succeeding in elevating about half of the daily population of lower 
Manhattan in his business, even though in his politics and philanthropy he 
isn't particularly zealous for the upHft movement as is our good rich friend, 
Angelo Perkins. Even in politics, however, Rep isn't half bad, nor hard to 
please, for now that Harmon is out of the race, Taft or Wilson will be 
thoroughly acceptable. Rep follows Judge Gary in his corporation ideas of 
corporation control and closes with a denunciation of woman suffrage. 

Done nothing in athletics? Rep, you seem to forget the Chowder party 
sports at Larchmont, when you boiled through the waters of Long Island 
Sound for first prizes in long distance tubbing. And as for diving ! It is well 
the shapely Annette Kellerman is spending a little time in Ireland. Never 
say again that you are not athletic. 

Rep has traveled in England and on the Continent and through a reunion 
or two in his war campaigns. 

HAROLD CHARLES RICHARD 

(a c) 376 Grand Street, New York City 
(b) 46 East Seventy-second Street, New York City 

Banking. Assistant cashier of the State Bank, New York City. 

Eorn October 13, 1884. Son of Oscar Richard, of Brooklyn, N, Y., and Alice 
Richard, of Gloversville, N. Y. Prepared at Lawrenceville. A.B., 
Princeton, Feb., 1907. Member of the Princeton Club of New York, 
Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended the first, third land fifth 
reunions. 

Harold Richard is active in outdoor athletic work. He is a member of 
the New York Athletic Club and also several golf and country clubs. He 
gets into all games. From his work on the golf team in college and from 
bowling, he has felt good effects, writing "Believe it has done me a lot of 
good physically." 

Banking is his profession by a certain degree of circumstance, but also 

171 



by inclination. He is a Republican, regular in his views for high protection 
and when writing before the Chicago convention was for Theodore Roosevelt. 

RAYMOND BEATTY RICHARDSON 

(ac) The Upson Walton Co., 1310 West Eleventh Street, Cleve- 
land, Ohio 
(b) 1883 East Ninety-seventh Street, Cleveland 

Business. With the Upson Walton Co., cordage manufacturers 
and jobbers of wire rope, canvas, and vessel and mine supplies. 

Born November 5, 1882, Son of James McElroy Richardson and Emma 
Beatty Richardson. Prepared at Blair Hall. B.A., Princeton 1906. 
Member of the Princeton Alumni Association of Northern Ohio. Sub- 
scribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended the fifth reunion. 

Married Clara Comey, October 5, 1912, at Cleveland, O. 

A characteristic letter from Rich, full of lively Class spirit : 

Cleveland, O., July 19, 1912. 
Dear Sandy, 

Received your notice of the first Grand Annual Summer Congress of 
Sports to take place on August 11, and I regret very much to say that I am 
forced to send my regrets. 

Let me state right here that from all I can learn the good old Class is 
more wide awake than ever. Although I live far away from the centre of 
things, I am decidedly interested in all the doings of the Class, whether 
serious or frivolous. This is a great stunt which you are pulling off this 
year and I would give a lot to be able to be with you. Being an expert golf 
and tennis player, not to mention my ability as a high diver and tub race 
artist, I long for a chance for some of those diamond-studded, pearl-lined, 
soHd gold prizes. 

You have my most sincere wishes for a hearty good time. If any report 
of the outing is to be published I would be glad to have one at any price as it 
undoubtedly will be a scream. 

Rich. 

A joyful note from Cleveland is still being sounded as a result of that 
great Fifth reunion. Says Rich : 'T had such a good time in June at the fifth 
reunion that I didn't notice whether anything was wrong or not. It was the 
first time I had reuned and I was so glad to be back that everything looked 
fine to me." 

Rich is one of the hustling assistant Class secretaries looking out for 
Cleveland and the surrounding country. 

"My future wife," now become simply "my wife," is his greatest 
interest, he writes. 

His choice of work was a matter of circumstance, and he does not know 
whether or not he will stick to it. A regular voter, he has done no political 

172 



work. He classes himself as a conservative in politics, one of those conserva- 
tives who favor Roosevelt for President. He believes in high protection in 
tariff matters when necessary, and does not believe in government aupervision 
of corporations nor in the initiative, referendum and recall. Woman suffrage 
receives a partial endorsement. 

His reading has been along general lines. A church member, he is 
actively interested in a boys' club in the slums. 

Writes Rich on athletics : "Though not an athlete in college, I think the 
regular exercise, such as gym work, cross country running, etc., has given me 
a foundation which will outlast many years of office work." 

WALTER WASHINGTON NORTH RIGHTER 

(a) Princeton Club, 1521 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 

(b) 2101 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 

(c) J. S. and W. S. Kuhn, Inc., Real Estate Trust Building, 

Philadelphia 

Banking and bond business. City salesman of bonds with J. S. and 
W. S. Kuhn, bankers. 

Born November 26, 1882. Son of the late Washington Righter, Princeton '66, 
of Lancaster, Pa., and Jennie E. Righter, of McAllisterville, Pa. Pre- 
pared at DeLancey School, Philadelphia. Left Princeton, June 1905. 
Secretary of Princeton Club of Philadelphia, Pa. Attended the third 
and fifth reunions. 

Walter Righter is one of the liveliest young assistant secretaries that 
ever took up a pen or badgered his friends for news and local color. He is 
looking out for the Class' interests in Philadelphia, so you see now how the 
doings of the Philadelphia coterie are so well played up into the prominent 
headlines of the Alumni Weekly notes. But besides this, we want to put in 
the word right here, that Walt Righter doesn't let many tricks slip by him as 
Secretary of the Princeton Club of Philadelphia. He is on the job all the 
time and no amount of work for the progress of the free and the brave of 
Princeton in the land of the Quakers is too much for him. 

As the result of an idea gently let loose by Walter, the 1906 crowd in 
Philadelphia had a reunion on March 8th at a dinner. This telegram was dis- 
patched to the Class secretary: 

"The first local reunion of 1906 at the Princeton Club sends greetings to 
the Class. Those present are Bradley, Brooke, Gilmore, Lloyd, MacCoy, 
Potter, Righter and Woodward. Walter W. N. Righter." 

This dinner, which was the first in six years, is to be followed by frequent 
occasions of the kind. Of his work in business, Walter writes : 

"I am with the Philadelphia office of J. S. and W. S. Kuhn as city sales- 
man in the dispensation of bonds. Clayton Banks, '00, is second assistant 
manager here and I believe there are several Princeton men in the Pittsburgh 
office. One of the Messrs. Kuhn has a son in Princeton now. 

^73 



"I was with the Philadelphia Civil Service Commission as an assistant 
examiner under a temporary appointment, but this was so much better that I 
lost little time availing myself of it." 

Walter writes in his record that his special interest is "My close affihation 
with Princeton affairs as Secretary of the Princeton Club of Philadelphia." 

In his business, he has studied real estate law and conveyancing and fire 
insurance at the Y. M. C. A. Night School in Philadelphia. He writes: 
"Have read a fair amount in general reading, little fiction. Am a close 
student of the daily papers and such magazines as World's Work, Review of 
Reviews, etc." 

Athletics on team or in organization? "No. Have several times been 
invited to join one of Philadelphia's cavalry troops, but am getting too old 
for such frivolities. Walking is my chief exercise and diversion." Walter is 
a Republican, but "free from entangling alliances," is not active in politics, for 
"It keeps me busy in these days of mushroom politics, keeping abreast of the 
times." He is in favor of the election of William Howard Taft, though he 
does lean to a revenue tariff and advocates a Federal charter for corporations. 

Bully work, yours for the Class, Walter! 

MONTGOMERY ROBINSON 
(a b c) Carthage, N. Y. 

Mining. Recently manager of the Love Mountain Gold Mining 
Company. 

Born April 30, 1884, Son of Franklin E. Robinson, of Waterloo, N. Y., and 
Lillie Ludlam Robinson, of Oyster Bay, N. Y. Prepared at Chelten- 
ham Military Academy. Litt.B., Princeton 1906. 

Married Anne Carpenter at Reno, Nevada, June 27, 1910. 

Janet Robinson, born May 29, 1911, at Carthage, N. Y. 

The love of horses and agriculture as interests, riding horseback as much 
as possible as a chief sport, are items in the circular that Robbie sends that 
tell of a healthy regard for the outdoors and a life somewhat after the 
fashion human beings were designed for. Robbie is in mining work, but does 
not expect to stay in it. He took a short course in assaying at Princeton 
early in the fall of 1906 and did considerable reading in it. His genera] 
reading has been in geology and mining, with some history. 

He has had an attack of typhoid, we trust not recently. Robbie is a 
conservative Democrat for Woodrow Wilson. 

WILLIAM WHITE RODGERS* 

(a) North Limestone Street, Springfield, Ohio 

(b) AnnapoHs, Md. 

Was preparing in 1909 to take examination for a commission in the 

United States Marine Corps.

FRANK BINGHAM ROLLINS 

(ab) ''Grasslands," Columbia, Missouri 
(c) Eighth and Broadway, Columbia, Missouri 

Lawyer. 

Born June 15, 1884. Son of George B. Rollins, of Columbia, Mo., and M. 
Clarkson Rollins of Columbia, Mo. Prepared at Shattuck, Faribault, 
Minn. A.B., Princeton 1906; LL.B., Missouri University, 1911. Mem- 
ber of the Princeton Club of St. Louis. Subscribes to the Alumni 
Weekly. Attended first, third and fourth reunions. 

Mighty interesting, Bing. We congratulate you and would do honor to 
your great-grandfather ! 

Bing Rollins writes : "Nothing very exciting, but I would like to say 
that my great-grandfather, James Hickman, graduated from Princeton in 
1806 and I now have his diploma. We were born just a hundred years 
apart to the month." 

It is an honor that every one of our Class must deeply appreciate to be 
thus joined with the worthy old grads of a century ago. Bing, we have a 
suggestion. Won't you get to work and hunt up a story of the Class of 
1806 and write it as a memorial for the next Class Record? We ought to 
know something of our predecessors of the '06 of a century ago. We'll 
never have another that we can know anything about. 

In his profession, Bing has specialized in the study of real property. 
His special interest is real estate. He has read some in history, economics 
and fiction. He hunts, rides, plays tennis and golf moderately and is a 
member of the Columbia Golf Association. 

In politics, he is a "conservative" Democrat, with Woodrow Wilson as 
his choice for President.

HOWARD CONDIT SAYRE 

(ab) Madison, N. J. 
(c) 330-340 Mulberry Street, Newark, N. J. 
Manufacturing. Junior partner in the firm of L. A. Sayre & Son, 
manufacturers of hardware. Also travelling salesman and pro- 
duction manager. 

Born May 16, 1884. Son of Louis A. Sayre, of Madison, N. J,, and the late 
Anna J. Condit, of Newark, N. J. Prepared at Madison Academy. 
Left Princeton in the fall of 1904. Member of the Princeton Club of 
New York. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended the third 
and fifth reunions. 

Here's romance and poetry from Howard Sayre on his hobby : 

'An open wood fire, a comfortable chair, a good pipe and an interesting 
book or companion." It sounds enticing, Howard. 

He went into his business in the hardware line in 1904, and dropped 
college for it, in order to relieve his father, who was in poor health. He 
has made a specialty in his work of cost keeping and shop management and 
has also taken a mail course in English. He is interested in all countries, 
especially those to which the goods of his firm may be sent. He has traveled 
in all except four of the states and in England and on the Continent. Fiction, 
history and economics form the basis of a large amount of the reading he 
does. 

In sports he plays handball in the local Y. M. C. A. in winter and goes 
in for tennis, canoeing, rowing and swimming in the summer. He is a 
Republican, beheving in protection, (this appears to be a rare form of belief 
among the Class) and stands for the initiative, referendum and the recall 
of officers. 

PHILIP HAYNES SCHAFF 

(a) 737 Ridge Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. North Side. 

(c) Lee, Higginson & Co., 43 Exchange Place, New York City 

Bonds 

Born April 12, 1886. Son of David S. Schaff, D.D., of Mercersburg, Pa., 
and Luella Haynes Schaff, of Seven Mile, O. Prepared at Walnut 
Hills High School, at Cincinnati. A.B., Princeton 1906. Member of 
the Princeton Association of Idaho. Attended the first and third 
reunions. 

Pete is no longer of the woolly country of the West. He ceased to be a 
citizen and prominent man in the community in Council, Idaho, early this 
year (1912), and very soon thereafter appeared in Wall Street. And they 
blame poor New York for all Wall street's crimes, with these woolly 

176 



Westerners constantly flocking in upon it. Nevertheless, we welcome you, 
Pete, to the fold in New York and are darned glad once more to clasp you to 
our bosom in a region that is only one hour and a half from Princeton 
Town on the Pennsylvania's comfortable steam carts, 

Pete made good in Council. Besides being cashier of the Council bank, 
he ran his fruit farm and did some real estate work. But he likes the quality 
and quantity of sociability that was born and bred and has its home in and 
about Princeton. So he put on his galoshes and picked up his umbrella not 
long ago and started for New York via Panama. He stopped at the informal 
sixth reunion at Princeton for a breath of fresh air and a sight of green 
grass before tackling Pittsburgh, and has since settled in New York, where 
he is helping Lee, Higginson & Co. batten fatter on the investing public. 

His journey to Idaho was largely dictated by circumstance. He held the 
office of city treasurer of Council, an appointive position. But he has done 
no political work. He believes in government supervision of corporations, 
a tariff for revenue and favors Woodrow Wilson for president. 

He took courses in mining engineering and banking law. When he was 
in Council, he found time in addition to his other pursuits to be a farmer. 
Incidentally he suffered from an attack of typhoid. His special interest in 
Council was : "120 acres of the best fruit land in the world". 

He has traveled in almost every state of the country and also abroad. 

HENRI SCHWOB* 

(a) The Strathmore, One Hundred and Thirteenth Street and 
Riverside Drive, New York City 

(c) Schaffer, Hov^ell & Hinds, 115 Broadway, New York 

Lawyer. With Schaffer, Howell & Hinds. Was admitted to the 
bar in January, 19 12. Started in the law late, after several years 
in business. 

ALEXANDER HODGE SCOTT 

(a c) 29 Hanover Street, Manchester, N. H. 

(b) 45 Russell Street, Manchester 

Engineer. With the Peoples' Gas Light Co. 

Born May i, 1885. Son of Charles H. Scott, of Danville, Ky., and Henrietta 
L. Scott, of Alleghany Pa. Prepared at Chestnut Hill Academy. 
C.E., Princeton 1906. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended 
the first and third reunions. 

Married Ethel Chandler Brooks, June 21, 191 1, at Manchester, N. H. 

Alec is enjoying his work as engineer for the Peoples' Gas Light Co. 
and intends making it his life-work. He has followed up his wrestling in 
college by gym work, his studies by a good deal of reading along standard 

177 



fiction and economic lines, and his Philadelphian Society work by teaching a 
Sunday-school class and helping out a boys' club. 

Scotty is a Middler and a Republican. He likes Taft, wants a commission 
similar to Interstate Commerce Commission to regulate business, a pro- 
tective tariff, no woman suffrage, but the initiative, referendum and recall of 
ail except judges. 

Alec writes "I have just been plugging along one day after another, 
advancing some but not setting the woods afire. Am interested in what I 
am doing and immensely enjoy my work." So on a sentiment like this, we 
wax a bit literary or romantic, as you wish, remembering our steady friend. 
The Village Engineer of former times who knew Mr. Longfellow and lived 
somewhere near Alec in New Hampshire: 

"Toiling, rejoicing, sorrowing, 
Onward through life he goes; 
Each morning sees some task begun, 
Each evening sees it close; 
Something attempted, something done 
Has earned a night's repose." 

How is that. Alec, for being right off the bat, Johnny on the spot with a 
few poetic sentiments apropos of the occasion! Good luck! Be sure of 
that repose!

Politics is the big thing with Pop since the advent of Woodrow Wilson 
into the political game as a possible Presidential candidate. He 
has given himself up almost entirely to the campaign since Woodrow 
Wilson's candidacy was announced. He has been so effective in his organizing 
work and enthusiasm-stirring, pilgrims from Oregon tell us, that he has been 
put into the highest political place in the Democratic organization of the 
State so far as the Federal campaign is concerned, the National Committee- 
manship for Oregon on the National Democratic Committee, as acting 
encumbent of this place. 

Pop filed the petition placing Woodrow Wilson on the Oregon ballot as 
candidate in the primaries for President. The following quotation from the 

178 



Oregon Daily Journal of March 9, 1912, sent us by Gif Uptegrove of 
Oregon, will tell you all about it : 

WOODROW WILSON'S PETITION IS FILED 

Result Pleases Democrats in View of Small 

Registration, Clark, Harmon Petitions

Wilson is the first Democratic candidate to be 

placed in the race. His petition as a candidate for 

President at the Democratic primaries was filed at 

Salem to-day by Paul S. Seeley of Portland, who 

has taken an active interest in placing the name of 

the New Jersey Governor before the voters. The 

circulators were in the field about ten days and the 

result is regarded as gratifying considering the small 

Democratic registration and the corresponding effort 

requierd in obtaining signatures. 

Something of the result of this work and the big campaign that has fol- 
lowed it as. well as the strength of Woodrow Wilson in the State, may be 
judged from the following quotation from a letter from Pop received 
not long before election : 

"I think that Wilson has an excellent chance of carrying this State 
although it is normally Republican by three to one. Wie have to make a 
campaign with very little money and few speakers of prominence so that 
we are considerably handicapped. However, the other parties are not much 
better off so that it does not make very much difference." 

We congratulate you, Pop, on your fine work of leadership which appears 
about to be crowned with success, if the pre-election betting on your candi- 
date as held forth by our knowing friends in Wall Street at figures of 4 to i, 
odds on, is any indication. 

We can't afford to pass over the chance to give Pop's political pedigree — 
whether it make or break him before his political supporters, we care not. 
He is a Democrat, which may be said in plain words. He auto-biographs 
himself: "Radical, so-called." "So-called?" You mean of course, Pop, 
that you are really a conservative and that the following creed is the quiet 
every-day kind worn by everybody in Oregon, at which a real radical would 
fairly short. This is his conservative creed, — the initiative, referendum and 
recall of both officers and judges, woman suffrage, tariff for revenue, govern- 
ment supervision over all public utilities and necessities and restoration of 
competition to a limited extent. Pop, we predict that you will be read out 
of the Democratic party of Oregon for heretical lack of real fire and fervor, 
as soon as this book g&ts into the hands of your constituents. 

Outside of politics, he has been very active in business and public life. 
He did not go in for the law after finishing at Harvard but devoted himself 
to business and investigation of the situation in various parts of the country 
with regard to taking up permanent residence in the West, transferring his 

179 



home from Poughkeepsie. Portland was settled on as the most promising 
city on the Pacific coast and Pop immediately began to get into the life of 
the community. He became associated with several engineers of large 
experience and standing in the United States Reclamation Service and 
together they formed the Northwest Company, an engineering concern chiefly 
engaged in community development throughout the northwest by compre- 
h^^nsive irrigation plans. Irrigation, likewise the company, has prospered. 

One of Pop Seeley's greatest interests miay be suggested from the fact 
that he is vice-president of the Btig Brothers in Portland. He is also a 
director of the Portland Y. M. C. A., where he is principally interested m 
boys' work as a member of the executive committee for that department. He 
is active in the work and the teachings of the Christian Science Church of 
which he is a member. These are some of the vital things which help to 
make up his real interests. Business he does not expect to make a life work. 

He has made special study of social, racial and economic questions. He 
is a member of the Multonomah Athletic Club and plays occasional tennis 
and handball. Hobbies? "Running a farm. Dogs." 

He writes the following: "Jack Vauclain has developed a new type of 
locomotive which will burn lignite coal such as is found in the Northwest and 
will give satisfactory results, thus solving a big problem for the railroads in 
this part of the country. A large number of engines of the ne!w type have 
been ordered by the railroads of the Northwest during the past year," 

Pop, there is no getting away from it, youTve got to be on hand for the 
Seventh reunion!

Born April 21, 1885. Son of George D. Shipman, of Belvidere, N. J., and 
Anna L, Shipman, of Shawnee, Pa. Prepared at Blair Hall. A.B., 
Princeton 1906; LL.B., New York Law School. Member of the Prince- 
ton Club of Elizabeth. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Has attended 
every reunion, big and little. 

The information as to the kind of degree handed out by the New York 
Law School is furnished by the editor. Shippy admits he doesn't know. 
Ihat's what New York degrees are thought of by Jersey lawyers, whom the 
state makes Proctors in Admiralty or something equally highfalutin. 

As a Republican in that politically hectic state of New Jersey, Shipman 
has indulged in considerable political activity. His patriotism has even led 
him to act at the polls, and he writes that he has done "some work" on election 
day, a cryptic phrase which in some parts often suggests five-dollar bills and 
free booze. 

He is a Taft man, but this was before the Jersey primaries. He is a 
believer in the tariff for revenue only, and in government supervision of 
corporations, and describes himself as a Middler. 

Since graduation he has done a good deal of studying in the law relating 
to corporations and trusts. His reading has been principally fiction and 
history. 

His chief form of amusement is hunting, but he engages in all sorts of 
outdoor sports, such as tennis, golf, swimming, rowing, fishing, sailing, walk- 
ing, canoeing and camping. He is especially interested in Canada an dits 
development. 

Reunions? "All of them, and every year in between", is what you do 
when you live in Newark and are a part of that jovial ring of which Higbie, 
Bliss, 111 and others, blithe companions, are members.

Ike, we are c.t.k. 

"Curious to know" what gems of thought were on your first circular that 
went astray and are forever lost to the world. For Ike, dear Classmates, one 
and all, has gone through the tension of answering no less than two circulars. 

181 



Of course, the bare statistics could be reproduced, even with the loss of the 
first circular. But to reproduce the thought waves that vibrated from that 
first circular, — Never. 

Therefore, farewell, indulging friends ! Suffice ye to know that Ike is a 
Republican and is fond of the glass business.

versity School, Baltimore. Litt.B,, Princeton 1907. Attended first and 
third reunions. 

Married Sarah Marion Mannix, June 4, 1909, in New York City. 

*'Not Roosevelt" is the fervent desire pohtically of a real Democrat. 
Halsey Simmons has read fiction and financial literature. Why should any 
financial man not like the King? 

FRANK PETERSON SIMONS 

(ac) 69 Main Street, San Francisco, Cal. 
(b) 73 Carl St., San Francisco 

Business. Credit manager for the Frank B. Peterson Co., wholesale 
grocers. 

Born September 7, 1886. Son of G. Stuart Simons, of Philadelphia, Pa., and 
Matilda Peterson Simons, of San Francisco, Cal. Prepared at Leal's 
School, Plainfield, N. J. B.A., Princeton 1906. Attended the first 
reunion. 

Frank expresses a fond expectation that is springing in the breast of 
many, as well as the disillusion following the day after Commence- 

182 



ment : "While I am not a Rockefeller yet and my dreams are not quite so 
rosy as in 1906, I still have hopes of landing some day." 

More power to you, Frank. Before going into his present business, 
which by the way, though a mixture of choice and chance, has turned out to 
be a very suitable article, — he studied law for a time but did not take a de- 
gree. Of the lines of study -in his present work, he says : "Trade papers are 
the only available sources of study, I read them. But in my line, experience 
is the main thing." He also reads some history and fiction. 

"Do considerable walking, horseback riding when possible, canoeing, 
swimming and boating in summer", he writes. Of social, boys' work, etc., 
he says : "Would like to be in it but know of none out here." He is for 
Woodrow Wilson and says of corporation regulation: "I believe in super- 
vision of monopolies to about the extent of that at present exercised by the 
railroad commission against railroads. The large majority of corporations 
no more need supervision than partnerships or individuals in business." He 
believes in the initiative, referendum and recall of officers, however, and is 
willing to bow to the will of the fair sex whenever they want the votes. 

GEORGE STUART SIMONS, JR.

(c) American Locomotive Co., 30 Church Street, New York

Business. In the president's office of the American Locomotive 
Company. 

Born March 17, 1884. Son of G. S. Simons, of Philadelphia, and Matilda 
Peterson Simons, of Denmark. Prepared at Leal's School, Plainfield, 
N. J. B.S., Princeton 1906. Member of the Princeton Club of Plain- 
field. Attended the first, third and fifth reunions. 

The word from Stew Simons before the convention at Baltimore was 
that Harmon and Wilson were all right. He is a Republican in ordinary 
years, but this rather sweeping Democratic choice of candidates and the advo- 
cacy of a revenue tariff changes the color of the atmosphere for this year. 
He is for complete regulation of corporations by the government, as 
many who work for the large companies seem to be. His political work has 
been as a challenger at the polls. Fiction and history have composed his 
reading. 

RANDOLPH STEWART SIMPSON*

Business. Purchasing agent with T. M. Sinclair & Co., Ltd., pork 
and beef packers. 

Born June 30, 1885. Son of Sydney Edgar Sinclair, of Belfast, Ireland, and 
Marie Lambert Matier Sinclair, of Belfast, Ireland. Prepared at Hill 
School. A.B., Princeton 1906. Member of the Princeton Club of 
Cedar Rapids. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly.

Sydney Edgar Sinclair, II, born March 23, 1910. 
Catherine Eraser Sinclair, born March 23, 191 1. Died March 4, 1912. 

Although Sine has been working hard in his father's business, his book- 
thirst has evidently remained unslaked. Aside from general science and 
economics, he has delved into social studies, natural history, agriculture, horti- 
culture, botany and architecture, both ancient and modern. He has started 
a small club for study along political, economic and social lines. 

A wife and child, gardening, tennis and canoeing keep a smile where 
smiles should always be kept. 

At date of record, Sine favored Taft for the Presidency, government 
supervision of business to the extent of distinct regulation of general conduct 
and the favorite 1906 doctrine for both Republicans and Democrats, a tariff 
for revenue. Although a progressive in principle, he opposes the new ideas 
and cannot grant the ladies the right of speech on election day. 

HERBERT JAMES SMITH 

(a) Putnam, Conn. 

(b) Riverside Inn, East Haddam, Conn. 

Engineer. Assistant engineer with the East Haddam and Haddam 
Bridge Commission, constructing a drawbridge for the State of 
Connecticut. 

Married Mary Florence Holt, October 17, 1908, at Santiago de Cuba. 

An interesting word from Herb Smith on bridges : 

"From August 1909 to October 191 1 I worked on the design and con- 
struction of a drawbridge across the Connecticut river at Saybrook, Conn. 

184 



upon the completion and dedication of this bridge to the State of Connecticut, 
I was made assistant engineer of another commission at East Haddam and am 
engaged in the design and erection of another bridge across the Connecticut 
river for the State. The Saybrook bridge is 1800 feet long and the draw 200 
feet in the clear." 

Herb is very much interested in Cuba "be/cause of its opportunities for 
American capital, once a stable government is assured." His special delights 
are traveling — he knows Cuba and has traveled in 12 states — and card playing. 
He has read in economic and social lines and is perfectly suited in his work. 
Woodrow Wilson and the way he proposes to fix things, the trusts, tariff, etc., 
are just the things that Herb Smith favors. 

HOMER DEWHURST SMITH 

(ab) 3414 Parkview Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. 
, (c) Bank of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh 

Banking. Receiving teller in the Bank of Pittsburgh. 

Born July 21, 1883. Son of R. S. Smith of Allegheny, Pa., and Mary A. 
Smith of Titusville, Pa. Prepared at Shady Side Academy, Pitts- 
burgh. B.A., Princeton 1906. Member of the Princeton Club of 
Western Pennsylvania. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended 
first reunion. 

Married Corinne N. Reineman, April 12, 191 1, at Pittsburgh, Pa. 

Homer Smith writes : "Nothing of any great interest, no special excite- 
ment; just the regular routine of going to business day after day, having 
vacation once in a while and exercise as often as possible. Good luck to you 
all and success in your publishing the Fifth Class Record." 

The exercise Homer gets is in baseball, tennis, basketball and bowling. His 
work was an arrangement that circumstances largely had a hand in, and he 
does not intend to stay in it. He is a "Middler" and a supporter of Woodrow 
Wilson, favoring only a slight restraining power over corporations.

Sherb is one of the members who has really done something to prove 
that he has a college education. He is a member of the board of school 
trustees. Also he has done a good deal of reading both in and out of his 
profession of banking. His profession was his choice and he is well suited. 
He has read much in banking and in economics, and has added fiction and 
history to these in his general reading. Riding and shooting regularly 
are his sports. He is a Roosevelt man. 

He has traveled in about 20 states, in England and on the Continent. 
How about a specially conducted tour of the Seventh Reunion, Sherb? 

KALMAN SPELLETICH 

(ab) 1305 Arlington Avenue, Davenport, Iowa 
(c) Gordon Van Tine Co., Davenport 

Business. Head of the sales department of the Gordon Van Tine 
Co., selling lumber, millwork and hardware direct to consumer. 

Born January 25,1885. Son of M. Spelletich of Hungary and Isabella Stevens 
of Connecticut. Prepared at Morgan Park Academy. B.S., Princeton 
1906. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended the third and 
fifth reunions. 

Odds bodkins, this hobby of yours sounds attractive, Spell ! 

"Agriculture and stock farming." 

Just picture for yourselves, men of 1906 — broad plains, waving wheat, tes- 
selated miles of corn, herds of stallions, mares and Jerseys, and men on 
every hand to look after them — then wake up face to face with nineteen cows 
wanting to be milked and your lone self to do the whole job. But in spite 
of a possibility like this, Spell, we like the hobby right from the ground up. 
You probably mean anyway a gentleman farmer strolling about leisurely, 
pointing out magnificently with his cane his broad acres. 

Spell's regular work was a combination of circumstances, but they were 
fortunate ones for the work finds him well pleased and going to stay. Adver- 
tising, correspondence and selling by mail have been the special lines that he 
has developed in it and his reading and study otherwise have been in fiction 
and economics. His sports are tennis and fishing and he gets a lot of each. 
He is interested in the Men's Club of his church, the Episcopalian. In poli- 
tics, he belongs to a party that is very popular in 1906, — the Wilson-revenue- 
tarifif-Republican party. He has traveled in eight European countries and is 
especially interested in Hungary because of close relatives there. 

GEORGE SAMUEL SPOHN 

(a) Krumsville, Pa. 

(b) Northfield, Minn. 

Teaching. Teaching German at St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minn. 

186 



Born August 19, 1879. Son of Frank J. Spohn and Katie A. Spohn, both of 
Virginsville, Pa, Prepared at Keystone Normal School. Entered 
Princeton 1903. A.B., Princeton 1906; A.M., Princeton 1907. Grad- 
uate study 1908. 

Married Mary Lucy Tyler, July 21, 191 1, at Claremont, N. H. 

George has not attended any of our reunions so far, and he is hereby 
served with notice that in case of non-appearance at our Seventh, the Class 
President will apply for a writ "de inquirendo studiento" and have serious 
inquiry made as to his mental condition. True, he never could have been 
justly accused of being gregarious, even when in college, but that's all the 
more reason why he should come back at every reunion. 

This profession of teaching with George was "mostly chosen, partly dic- 
tated", but now that he is in it, he'll follow it. With this end in view, he 
has taken post graduate work in German and has done considerable side 
reading in philosophy and English literature. He is "chained to no party's 
arbitrary sway", but is an independent in politics and votes regularly, although 
he has not done any active political work. He believes in government super- 
vision of corporations to the extent of "fair play to all", but doesn't suggest 
how this is to brought about. (Why don't some of our class economists 
solve this problem and make themselves famous and the world happy?) He 
favors a tariff for , revenue, believes in "T. R. & R." for officers and judges, 
suffrage for women and Woodrow for President. 

DAVID CHRISTIE STAGG 

(ab) Leonia, N. J. 
(c) 140 Nassau Street, New York City 
Engineer. General Contractor and Consulting Engineer with 

Charles Ward Hall. 
Born December 5, 1883. Son of Edward Stagg and Anna C. Stagg. Prepared 
at Horace Mann School, New York City. C.E., Princeton 1906. 
Member of the Princeton Alumni Association of Northern New 
Jersey. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended the first and 
fifth reunions. 
Married Mabel Louise Clark April 22, 1908, Leonia, N. J. 

David Christie Stagg, Jr., born June 25, 1909, in New York City. 

"Endeavored to make a good choice of it," writes Dave of his profession. 
And from all reports, a good success of it has been the result of a good 
choice of it. As a consulting engineer, Dave says he will probably go through 
life. And he is highly delighted at the prospect, we hear. 

"Society and photography" are his two hobbies. He plays tennis and 
golf. In his profession he has done considerable reading along "structural" 
lines. As for politics, Dave does not get overheated in his efforts for any 
party, in fact they are rather lucky to catch him for his vote in his skips 
about in residencet He does say, however, in clear and unmistakable lan- 

187 



guage, that he is for government supervision of corporations to the extent of 
"sufficient regulation". 

EDWARD OTIS STANLEY, JR. 

(ab) 40 Hawthorne Avenue, East Orange, N. J. 
(c) 738 Broad Street, Newark, N. J. 

Lawyer. Partner in the law firm of Sommer, Colby and Whiting. 

Born November 21, 1885. Son of Edward O. Stanley of North Attleboro, 
Mass., and CaroHne C. Durfee Stanley of Fall River, Mass. Pre- 
pared at East Orange High School. A.B., Princeton 1906; LL.B., 
Columbia 1909. Member of the Princeton Alumni Association of the 
Oranges. Has attended all the reunions. 

Ned Stanley of course has been busy intellectually. After he got well 
into the law, following his graduation from Columbia Law in 1909, he did 
special study in preparation for a series of law lectures in the New Jersey 
Law School, This course he has been giving on "Partnership and Constitu- 
tional Law" during 1910 and 191 1 and was to have gone on during the first 
college term of 1912. Outside of this special work in his profession, Ned 
has read very considerably in "political science and in good literature of 
standard worth." 

His sports are his hobbies. He likes to walk or if not afoot to travel in 
machine. So he says of foreign travel : "I should like to walk through Eng- 
land and Scotland, chiefly because of the scenery." He plays tennis in sum- 
mer; he tramps in vacations. 

He is active in church and philanthropic work. In the Episcopal church, 
he is superintendent of the Sunday School, is also a vestryman, and a conven- 
tion delegate. He is on the boards of various philanthropic institutions, 
hospitals and the Legal Aid Society. 

Political life comes in for a goodly share of his activities. "In the 
summer of 191 1, I acted as City Counsel of East Orange in the absence and 
by request of the regular City Counsel," he writes. He is a Republican, and 
is out flatfootedly as a "Radical". 

Theodore Roosevelt was his choice for President before the Convention 
but we were not progressive enough to find out whether Ned has followed 
the leader into the Bull Moose herds. We take it that with Everitt Colby and 
Borden Whiting as law partners he couldn't do anything else. He has done 
some political work in furnishing information and by writing. 

We quote some of Ned's beliefs as valuable legal opinions that have been 
furnished gratis for the Class : 

Government supervision of corporations? "Only so far as necessary to 
protect public interests." 

Initiative, etc., but not including the recall of judges? "No, as matters of 
legislation. Yes, as necessary weapons of reform." 

Woman suffrage? "Where necessary, desired and justified."

GEORGE BLACK STEWART, JR. 

(a b c) Syrian Protestant College, Beirut, Syria 

Educational. Treasurer, Syrian Protestant College. 

Born November 6, 1884. Son of George B. Stewart of Columbus, O., and 
Mary Thompson Stewart. Prepared at Auburn High School, Au- 
burn, N. Y. B.A., Princeton, 1906. Member of the Princeton Alumni 
Association of Syria. (Three locomotives!!!) 
Married Jessie Campbell Wilson at Aleih, Lebanon, Syria, August i, 191 1. 

George, we know we shouldn't bet on things religious, but we have a 
notion that somewhere in the Scriptures there is mention made of the "cedars 
of Lebanon" ; and we stand ready to bet a cooky to a last year's bird nest 
that you've got some of those cedars in your backyard. If you haven't, you 
ought to have; because we are reliably informed that Lebanon is from the 
Semitic laban "to be white" — and that means you; likewise the "cedrus Li- 
bani" of the Scriptures was the symbol of power, prosperity and longevity, and 
that's what we wish you. 

We fully intended going out to George's wedding, but he chose the 
very time when the going wasn't good. It is a matter of much moment, 
therefore, to see the patriotism displayed in his choice of a wife. He is 
another of those exceptional men who "definitely chose" his profession. Not- 
ing that he is treasurer of a college, one is led to wonder just how he 
managed it. George skips lightly over our quizzing on things civic and 
political ; but on public questions sends us this out of the wisdom of the 
East : "I believe in Voluntary Federal Incorporation, Tariff for Revenue only, 
and in the Initiative and Referendum, but not in Woman Suffrage." Since 
leaving the ivy towered halls of Princeton, George has taken trips through 
England, Holland, France, Italy, Turkey, Scotland, Belgium, Switzerland, and 
Greece; and declares that he is most interested in Turkey, "because I live 
and work in it". His final word is "regards to all" and we echo the sentiment 
back to himself.

BAYARD STOCKTON, JR. (Deceased) 

Bayard Stockton, Jr., died at St. Luke's Hospital, New York, on Mon- 
day, July first, nineteen hundred and twelve. He was the oldest son of the 
Honorable Bayard Stockton and Charlotte Shields Stockton, born at Prince- 
ton, New Jersey, January nineteenth, eighteen hundred and eighty-four. His 
preparatory education was obtained at St. Paul's School, Concord, New 
Hampshire, which he entered in September, eighteen hundred and ninety-nine. 
He entered Princeton University in nineteen hundred and two, graduating 
with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in nineteen hundred and six. He imme- 
diately took up the study of law, entered the New York Law School in the 
fall of nineteen hundred and six, and graduated with the degree of LL.B. in 
nineteen hundred and eight. He studied in his father's law office in Trenton, 
New Jersey, for one year, and was admitted as an attorney to the Bar of 
the State of New Jersey in June, nineteen hundred and nine. After his 
admission he took up active practice in his father's office, and continued his 
work there with increasing success until his death. From the first he showed 
he had inherited his family's ability in the legal profession. He was held in 
high esteem by the Mercer County Bar, having served as the Secretary of 
this Association for two years prior to his death. He was naturally inclined 
towards the law, grasped its principles quickly and rapidly secured a consider- 
able clientele of his own. He was counsel for the Township Committee and a 
member of the Princeton Board of Health. He showed particular ability in 
the trial of cases, and possessed an unusual amount of common sense and an 
understanding of human nature, which he used to great advantage in this 
work. 

His interests, aside from his business, were various. An enthusiasm and 
thoroughness in whatever line of work he entered upon was characteristic of 
him. He carried out the traditions of the Stockton family and was actively 
engaged in military affairs, enlisting in the New Jersey National Guard, Com- 
pany L, of Princeton, upon his return from Law School to Princeton. He 
served in this Company for three years, and at the time of his death had been 
promoted to the rank of first lieutenant on Colonel Reading's staff. He was 
most loyal to Princeton, attending every reunion of his Class from the time 
of his graduation until his death, including the reunion in June, nineteen 
hundred and twelve, at which time he was far from well. He was always 
present at the Class dinners given in New York in the winter. Bayard had 
executive ability, the faculty of knowing how to organize. He was a member 
of the Class Reunion Committee. His constant work for the Class and his 
great interest in watching out for its interests were of untold value in promot- 
ing the success of reunions and the strong spirit of the Class. The Class files 
bear record of the large amout of work he did most thoroughly in taking care 
of the many details at Princeton for the Class reunions. 

He was a member of the Nassau Club, the Trenton Country Club, Prince- 
ton Elm Club and the Princeton Club of New York. 

Bayard had always been in good health until February twenty-ninth, 

190 



nineteen hundred and twelve, when he was taken down with pneumonia, and 
was very ill for a short time. He apparently recovered on March twenty- 
eighth, and went to Atlantic City with Robert Gait to recuperate, staying 
there about three weeks. During the last few days that he was in bed with 
the attack of pneumonia, a trouble in his throat first appeared, rendering it 
difficult for him to swallow. His throat, however, gave him no great bother 
and the affection was considered of no importance until about May first, when 
it became worse and he was unable to swallow any solid food. He visited 
numerous speciaHsts and was informed that this was caused by a stoppage of 
the oesophagus. He spent two weeks in New York City the latter part of 
May, taking treatment, and returned to Princeton in time to attend Commence- 
ment in June. He was able to walk about until June fifteenth, when he went 
to St. Luke's Hospital, where he reimained until his death. An operation was 
performed upon his throat the latter part of June, from which he never 
entirely recovered. His funeral was held at Princeton, New Jersey at Trinity 
Church, on July third, nineteen hundred and twelve. The funeral was largely 
attended, the church being crowded with many friends and relatives and his 
associates in several organizations. Company L of New Jersey National 
Guard attended in uniform, and Chancellor Walker, of New Jersey, Judge 
Gnichtel, the Honorable Frank S. Katzenbach and others were present repre- 
seting the Mercer County Bar Association. The clergymen present were 
Bishop Scarborough, Dr. Alfred B. Baker, and the Reverends Ralph B. Pom- 
eroy, Lewis C. Baker, Arthur B. Conger, and Thomas A. Conover. The hon- 
orary pall bearers were four classmates, Charles Presbrey, Julian E. McGif- 
f ert, Clifford I. Voorhees, and Jehiel G. Shipman ; and Messrs, Richard 
Stockton, Thornton Conover, Sackett M. Dickinson, R. S. Conger, David H. 
Stockton and J. Potter Stockton. The surviving relatives are the Honorable 
Bayard Stockton and his wife, and a younger brother of Bayard's, Richard 
Stockton. 

In Bayard's death, upon the threshold of what promised to be a 
brilliant career, we are deeply saddened. We have lost a man of high charac- 
ter, a bright and cheerful companion, a true friend, a loyal Prinoetonian.

CHARLES HELME STRATER 

(a) Louisville, Ky. 

(b) 1037 Third Street, Louisville, Ky. 

(c) 506 Caldv^ell St., Louisville 

Tobacco business. Treasurer and sales manager of the Strater Bro- 
' thers Tobacco Company, Inc. 

Born January 19, 1884. Son of Charles G. Strater of Chillicothe, Ohio, and 
Adeline Helme Strater of New Orleans, La. Prepared at Flexners 
School, Louisville. A.B., Princeton 1906; LL.B., Harvard 1909. Mem- 

191 



ber of the Princeton Alumni Association, Louisville. Subscribes to the 
Alumni Weekly. Attended the first, third and fifth reunions. 
Married Alice Bacon Barnes, April lO, 1912, at Louisville, Ky. 

All safely married, Helme, aren't you? So we may spring the secrets of 
your circular, v^^ithout danger of a divorce? Therefore we quote your reply 
to our search for life incidents : 

"Haven't I given myself fully enough away? All I ask is that you don't 
let this paper fall into the hands of the police or my fiance. My life is in 
your hands until after the wedding. By the way I see China misses our firm 
guiding hand. Best wishes to all of 1906." 

Now Helme, really, we fear your fear was unduly great. We have 
looked and looked through your circular and find nothing incriminating — 
absolutely nothing that could put you in jail or make you liable to alimony. 
Now if you were Premier Asquith in England, it might be different because 
of this sentence in your politics : 

Believe in woman suffrage? "No, for purely physical reasons not men- 
tal." In England, of course, you would never have occasion to say that, not 
after you had met a suffragette or two springing at you from behind the 
bushes and hammering you on the golf course, — where we note by the way 
that you would be on Saturday afternoon and Sunday mornings. 

You say you are a "stationary pillar in the Episcopal Church." But that is 
not vicious. 

"Fresh air" is your hobby. Why conceal that from the Louisville 
police? Fresh air, light, various other little perquisites of freedom, might of 
course well be resented by the New York police just now. 

Surely Mrs. Strater would never have objected to your "writing speeches 
on labor unions for the Manufacturers' Association while still in the law" or 
"studying up the history of tobacco and its manufacture", which you say you 
have done as a specialty in your work? 

Aha, at last we have the source of your fear. Here is the cause for it: 

Choice for President? "Roosevelt". 

We have heard of those dreadful Kentucky political feuds. Do hide this 
if it is truly the cause for your fear of the police and the displeasure of Mrs. 
Strater. But by this time, no doubt, all members of the family are rooters 
for the Bull Moose and the Moosetteis have carried the day in Louisville. 

In political work, Helme has been law clerk for "the man behind the gun 
in the local fusion reform movement". He is in his present work of tobacco 
manufacturing as the result of the death of relatives that made it necessary 
for him to quit law after 16 months' practice in 1910, and take up the business 
to protect the family interest. "Of course, I fit the suit," he says of the 
fitness of the work for him. 

There was a distinctly Princeton air at the wedding of Helme and Miss 
Barnes. Among the ushers were Ken Goodman, Si Wiley, John Anderson 
and Frank Berry. Helme has traveled extensively in the United States and 
in about every country of Europe; also in Asia Minor, Palestine and Egypt.

EUGENE NATHAN STROM 

(ab) 5828 Kenmore Avenue, Chicago, 111. 
(c) 725 Marquette Building 

Manufacturing. Assistant Manager of the Pettibone Mulliken Co., 
railroad supplies. 

Born March 13, 1882. Son of A. A. Strom and Carrie Strom, both of Chicago. 

Prepared at Austin High School. Entered Princeton in the fall of 1904. 

C.E., Princeton 1906. 
Married Meta Fiedler, October 24, 1908. 

Gene Strom advocates the rule of reason for the regulation of corpora- 
tions. Let the government regulate to "pick out the good from the bad trusts," 
he says, and chooses President Taft to do it. Has he not mistaken? Is 
there not only one who is the Great Preceptor and Advocate of the Good, 
though the Vengeful Punisher of the Wicked Trusts, Angelo Perkins' 
friend, the Only Theodore? He alone understands the rule of reason. 

Gene besides being a Republican, plays golf. 

He has traveled in 14 states and in many of the countries of northern 
Europe. 



CARL MARTIN STROMBERG 

(a b c) Lake Placid, New York 

Real estate and insurance. Partner in the firm of Pulford and 
Stromberg. 

Born August 24, 1883. Son of William Stromberg and Wilhelmina Roth 
Stromberg, both of Sweden. Prepared at Holderness School, Plymouth, 
N. H. Entered Princeton fall of 1901. C.E., Princeton 1906. Sub- 
scribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended the fifth reunion. 

"In all my travels. East and West, the most pleasant and interesting 
feature I find is the wonderful spirit of fellowship and comradeship shown 
among Princeton men to each other" — Quotation from Carl Stromberg. 
Others have felt it and it is no mirage but a solid unvarnished fact. 

"Mountain climbing" is his hobby. Baseball, canoeing, swimming and 
rowing his sports and his church activity, the choir and teaching. "Before I 
left the West," he writes, "I was a member of the Paddle and Saddle Club 
of St. Louis." 

His work was a matter of circumstance and he does not intend to make 
it a go for all time, though he will for the present. He is a Republican voting 
for Woodrow Wilson, with leanings toward the radical. He has helped the 
organization in personal solicitation.

PAUL BARRETT SULLIVAN* 

Last recorded address was with Feist & Feist, Newark, N. J.

L.L.B., Pittsburgh Law School 1909. Member of the Princeton Club of 
Western Pennsylvania. Attended fifth reunion. 

Married Gertrude Kingsbacher, June 16, 1910, at Pittsburgh, Pa. 

Sunny has taken a considerable part in politics since graduation, especially 
in reform movements. Thus he has helped to expose graft in the city councils 
and has given his aid to A. Leo Weil in that work. Indeed he states that 
one of his special interests outside of the work of his profession has been 
the rooting out of graft in Pittsburgh, which if the funny sheets are to be 
believed, is a task worthy of Hercules, nay Roosevelt. 

Sunny states that he is a Middler, an advocate of government supervision 
of corporations and of woman suffrage, a disbeliever in the initiative, refer- 
endum and recall except in a few cases. He gives his choice for next Presi- 
dent as Theodore Roosevelt "if he can be induced to run." (This was written 
back in the times when Theodore was coyly arranging his stage-entrance, deus 
ex machina. Induced to run ! Shades of William J. Bryan and other self- 
winding aspirants to the White House ! Can he ever be induced to stop run- 
ning. Sunny?) 

In his reading Sunny has devoted himself principally to art and history. 
In athletics he has kept up his tennis as a member of the Edgewood tennis 
team. He has also shown much activity in religious and social work, con- 
ducting a boys' club in connection with the Temple Rodef Sholem where he 
teaches the boys civic ideals. 

He writes that his has been the uninteresting even way of a happy hard- 
working lawyer, who is striving to do some good for others in the lot that has 
fallen to him. 

ADRON LEIGH SWAN* 

(b) 317 Leonard Hotel, Butte, Mont. (In 1909)

ADDISON FAIRFAX MADEIRA TALBOTT 

(ab) East Aurora, N. Y. 
(c) Buffalo Commercial, Buffalo, N. Y. 

Newspaper work. Associate editor, Buffalo Commercial. 

Born July 25, 1882. Son of Leander J. Talbott of Meigs County, Ohio, and 

Caroline Madeira Talbott of Covington, Ky. Prepared at Princeton

Married Alice McKinney, April 26, 1905, at Buffalo, N. Y. 

Mary Alice Talbott, born August 27, 1907. 

Caroline Elizabeth Talbott, born July 6, 1910. 

Ike Talbott has one interest and you won't mistake it if you glance 
directly above. You are right. It is "Home." 

A busy newspaper editor doesn't have time to write letters and editorials 
in hours and has no time at all after hours because all hours are office 
hours. Therefore you have got to say hello and goodby to Ike Talbott right 
here, with the passing remark that he is a Democrat, for Woodrow Wilson, 
chose his work and will stay in it, and likes hunting for his sport. With that 
the curtain falls and we hope it may next rise at the Seventh reunion. 

HARRY WOOLSON TAPLIN 

(a) Box 753, Franklin, Mass. 

(b) 229 Dean Avenue, Franklin 

(c) City Mills, Mass. 

Manufacturing. With the American Felt Co., manufacturing felt.

antine W. Taplin of Littleton, N. H. Prepared at Phillips Andover. 
Entered Princeton fall of 1903; left March 1905. 

Features of Hfe history? 

"The most amazing: that I have never been dunned for Class dues." 

Well not so very ! In the first place we have very gentle Class officers in 
1906 so far as dunning goes (except of course Hinman Bird). 

In the second place about Class dues. There ain't none. 

However, Brother Taplin, now that you have let yourself in and seem to 
be in the right mood, there is the Memorial Fund that will take all moneys 
about to be thrown away, (Aforesaid Hinman Bird, Skipper of the Memorial 
Fund, will doubtless lay his course straight for you as soon as ever this book 
appears.) 

Then too, you will be earnestly solicited for a stout subscription worthy 
of your standing in the community in payment for this copy of the book you 
will receive. 

And finally if you are pining for something to pay to the Class, get down 

195 



to the next reunion. A few of our young men will be ready to receive and 
invest. But we will guarantee your money's worth. We'd like to see you 
then. 

Brother Taplin in his business has made a special study of the manufac- 
ture of felt. He has also studied public accounting. He is a Republican, has 
done canvassing for his party and is a "Conservative" — a Conservative for 
"T. R." !

L. I. 

Virgie Tarbell, born March 14, 1909. 
Swift writes that his only interest outside of his business is one closely 

related to it and that is "trying to support a family." His business was his 

choice and he intends to make it permanent. He is a Republican.

Married Margaret Hunt Prichard, June 28, 1910, at Newark, N. J. 

Herbert Thompson has made a special study of architecture in his pro- 

196 



fession of engineering. Engineering and architecture were his special choices 
of work. Besides this, he has done a moderate amount of reading in fiction 
and economics. He ranks himself as a conservative and for Taft.

(c) P. O. Box 488, Harrisburg 

Business. Assistant manager in the firm of Montgomery & Co., 
proprietors of Peipher Line Fast Freight between Philadelphia, 
New York and Harrisburg. 

Born October 28, 1882. Prepared at Harrisburg High School. A.B., Prince- 
ton 1906. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended the first reunion. 

Joe Trace is active in promoting athletics and in politics as well as in his 
business. He writes of his interest and his work in athletic matters : 

"On the Harrisburg Athletic Committee, which conducts yearly track 
meets for the high schools and colleges of Pennsylvania." He is one of the 
original members of this committee. He has a good word to say of college 
athletics in the experience testimony meeting we have been conducting through 
this book. "Good effects. Was never in better condition than when I was 
in college." As a member of an organization, he is Shrine Patrol of the 
Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He is interested but not actively in social work 
such as boys' clubs, etc. 

Joe got in his present work through the circumstance of the business 
having been in the family for 60 years. Life-job: "Not if I can get out of 
it." In politics, he writes "A Democrat and in Pennsylvania." Brave lad! 
Voted regularly? "Never missed since I was 21." The religious fervor of 
the persecuted ! Burn the Christians and they increase ! The pious zeal of 
the white-robed martyr in the land of Boies, the Penrose, leads him to canvass 

197 



for his party and he was sure before election that he was going to slip one 
over to dismay his party enemies by electing Woodrow Wilson. 

WILLIAM FITZHUGH TURNER 

(a) Bayard Lane, Princeton, N. J. 

(b) 1 142 North Hunter Street, Stockton, Cal 

(c) Room 409, S. S. & L. S. Building, Stockton, Cal. 

Engineer. With the Southern Pacific Co., as assistant division engi- 
neer, Stockton, Cal. 

Born June 23, 1884. Son of H. W. Turner of Baltimore, Md., and Grace 
Miller Turner of New Orleans, La. Prepared at Princeton University 
Academy. C.E., Princeton 1906. 

Married Helen Louise Stroupe at Alameda, Cal., October 8, 1910. 

Fitz Turner is doing his best along the lines of philanthropy in helping 
one of the poor downtrodden railroads of the country to keep the wolf from 
the door and incidentally pay its six per cent yearly dividends. He is looking 
after the Stockton division of the Southern Pacific as assistant engineer. He 
has made engineering his special study and fiction and history his general 
reading. He takes a little time ofif to play some tennis during the summer. 
He is a Middler as a Democrat, and states no choice for President. He has 
traveled in the United States through 24 states. 

FREDERIC ULLMANN, JR. 

(a) Fischer Building, Chicago, 111. 

(b) Windermere Hotel, Chicago, 111. 

(c) 1305 Fischer Building, Chicago, 111. 

Lawyer. Junior partner with the firm of Ullmann, Hoag & David- 
son. 

Born November 9, 1883. Son of Frederic UUman of Racine, Wis., and Eliza- 
beth Lewis Ullman of Utica, N. Y. Prepared at Harvard School, Chi- 
cago. A.B., Princeton 1906; L.L.B., Northwestern University 1909. 
Member of the Princeton Club of Chicago. Subscribes to the Alumni 
Weekly. Attended third reunion. 

Fred writes that' he is not yet married but it is to be noted that he believes 
in woman suffrage "in some cases." However to the question as to his wife's 
maiden name he answers "none", which strikes us as an unwarranted assump- 
tion on his part. 

In politics, he describes himself as a Middler, believing in reasonable 
government supervision of corporations, a protective tariff so long as neces- 
sary, the initiative, the referendum and the recall, though not of judges. He 

198 



was a member of the first Voters' Taft Club and helped at the polls. Although 
a Republican he was torn between Wilson and Taft at the time of the 
circular. 

He has not forgotten his old pursuits at college, for he is a member of 
the University Banjo Club. In the realm of sports he has engaged chiefly in 
tennis and horseback riding. 

He is a member of the Episcopal Church and takes a considerable interest 
in its activities, being an usher and a member of its men's committee. 

We'll be expecting you for the Seventh, Fred. 

SAMUEL UPDEGRAFF 

(ab) 306 Amber Street, Pittsburgh, Pa. 
(c) Care of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., Pitts- 
burgh, Pa. 

Business. Chief clerk in the traffic department of the American 
Telephone and Telegraph Co., Pittsburgh. 

Born 1883. Son of John Updegraff of Covodeville, Pa., and Elizabeth Upde- 
grafif of West Fairfield, Pa. Prepared at Shady Side Academy. 
Litt.B., Princeton 1906. Member of the Princeton Association of West- 
ern Pennsylvania. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended first 
and third reunions. 

"If working 12 hours a day, 7 days in the week in a steel mill constitutes 
an 'interesting feature' Dolly Darlington and I can qualify. We both hit the 
discard on that 3 or 4 years ago and that's what interested us." A plaintive 
note from the Black City. Weep no more, ye daughters of Zion, for this is 
all over now. 

In his telephone work at present, Sam has done special study in corre- 
spondence school work along technical lines. Outside of business, he has 
done much reading chiefly in English and French (translated) standard 
fiction. Books, tennis and canoeing make up his special interests outside of 
business. He does not intend to make this telephone work his life job, but is 
satisfied that for the present it is very well fitted for him. In politics, he is 
a Middle-Radical and is for Woodrow Wilson. Of corporations, he says 
feelingly, "Live and let live", advocating "control of prices without destroying 
fair profits." His travels outside the United States have been in England and 
on the Continent. 

GIFFORD MILLS UPTEGROVE 

(a be) Parkdale P. O., Hood River, Oregon 

Orchardist. Member of the firm of Uptegrove, Cornell & Mason, 
orchardists. 

199 



Born December ii, 1883. Son of William E. Uptegrove and Mary E. Upte- 
grove both of New York State. Prepared at Worcester Academy, 
Worcester, Mass. ^A.B., Princeton 1906. Not a member of a local 
Princeton Club, as there is none in Oregon. Subscribes to the Alumni 
Weekly. Attended first and third reunions. 

Well, Upte, old boy, you might expect us to exclaim right off, "Wal, by 
heck", as your introduction to the Class in the role of farmer. Our sprightly 
young story and play writers always do. But we won't. Scientific farmers 
don't talk that way. Neither do other farmers, say the well informed. We 
take it you are scientific and measure your corn in glass jars and analyze the 
soil with chemicals and microscopes. We trust that you can examine your 
harvests with telescopes, no, no, no — what we mean is that we hope your 
harvests are so big that if dumped on the moon you would not have to 
use a telescope to see them. 

Gif seems to be just the right name for a farmer, the really modern, 
scientific kind. There's Gif Pinchot, for instance. He seemed to know a 
thing or two about the trees and things and he made a little stir in the land 
besides. 

It is delightful to hear from you, Upte, and your choice of a vocation 
appeals to us as a right royally fine thing. There would be more of us with 
you, we are sure, if we had the nerve. Listen to Farmer Uptegrove, ye 
grubbers in great cities, accord ear ! 

"Circumstances directed my calling for the first three years after college. 
In September 1909, I exercised the right of choice and took up my present 
work. 

"I consider my move to Oregon the most interesting event of my life 
(we are glad Upte has no wife). Having always been used to city life this 
sort of thing is all new. The change from confinement in city walls and 
sidewalks to wonderful air and climate with constant outdoor work, every bit 
of which is healthy, pleasant exercise, living among the most congenial, sub- 
stantial people and with experiences every day that make anecdotes, is to me 
a matter of the greatest satisfaction." 

Bully ! 

But now, hist, ye men of leisure, list to the further words of the farmer, 
before ye gather up your tents and your wives and your maid servants and 
your man servants and your asses, and journey forth into the Land oi Prom- 
ise to buy real estate and milch-kine. Let not your hearts fail ye but hear ye 
with wisdom and understanding his admonition in answer to our question, — 
Special study in your profession? "We have a special study class every day 
from 5.30 a. m. to 9.30 p. m. in which we consider horticulture, pomology, 
tree pathology, insect pests. This comes in our daily rounds of work," writes 
the Farmer. 

Or again, — Engage in sports? "An arm chair is my favorite sport when 
I can get a chance at it." 

Mr. Farmer Man, if you want to sell any lots out your way, you've got 

200 



to do better than this in boom Hterature. But even as it is, it is fairly entic- 
ing. None of us know how to appreciate an arm chair anyway. 

Upte writes of his hobbies, — we take off our hats to them — "Princeton, 
1906, and reading, but as yet have had no opportunity to pursue them.'^ 

Ahletics at college and effects? "So far as I was engaged I felt good 
results decidedly from basketball." In Church work, he is a deacon and 
interested in the Sunday School of the United Church which includes all de- 
nominations. He' was a conservative Republican for Taft (before the con- 
ventions) and curious to note wants a revenue tariff. Woman suffrage he 
believes will come but he does not advocate it. He favors the new fashions in 
government, excepting the recall of judges. 

He has traveled in 32 states and in England and on the Continent. 

Upte, how about a wife to complete your cup of joy? Best luck! 

PERCY LINWOOD URBAN* 

(b) St. John's College, Shanghai, China 

Louis Froelick writes "In the spring of 191 1, I was visiting St. John's in 
Shanghai, the Episcopal Academy, and the most celebrated school in China. 
The bell rang for changing recitations. An American flashed by on his way 
upstairs. His back looked familiar. In a very short minute, Percy Urban and 
I had fallen on each other's necks and wept. 

"He was to have been at St. John's teaching for a year or two more from 
that time."

(ab) ''Nearmah", Locust Valley, L. I. 

(c) The Weir Frog Company, Cincinnati, O. 

Manufacturing. Assistant to the President of the Weir Frog Com- 
pany, manufacturers of railroad frogs, switches, crossings, etc. 

Born August 23, 1884. Son of Oliver DeGray Vanderbilt and Emily A. 
Vanderbilt. Prepared at the East Orange High School. B.S., Prince- 
ton 1906. Member of the Princeton Club of New York and the Prince- 
ton Alumni Association of the Oranges. Subscriber to the Alumni 
Weekly. Has attended all the reunions. 

Married Madelon Emma Weir, February 17, 1912, in New York City. 

Even a brief sketch of Shave's post-graduation history could not be 
written without putting up into the headlines the fact that he has been one 

201 



of the leaders of the Class whose splendid activity and great amount of work 
is responsible for making us among the most strongly united and prosperous 
classes in Princeton. The facts are sufficient evidence of the fine service 
Shave has rendered and continues to give to the Class and to Princeton. For 
the four years from July 1907 to July 191 1, he carried on the work of 
Secretary, with what conspicuous success the solidity of the Class and of 
Class feeling at the Fifth Reunion spoke emphatically. While Secretary, he 
was active in his assistance of Hinman Bird on the Memorial Committee. 
He represented the Class with effectiveness on the Graduate Council, the 
Class at the Fifth Reunion unanimously reelecting him to represent us. In 
addition to this, Shave gave very valuable services to Princeton men in 
the amount of work he did in correspondence and personal interviews 
on the Committee on Business Opportunities of the Princeton Club of New 
York in getting men positions. His work on the Reunion Committee has 
always been of the aggressive kind that gets things done. An editor has 
taken the special liberty of sticking in with the "life-pedigree" of Shave, 
this word of his own. 

Of course with a married man, there is only one thing necessary to talk 
about — the big event. Shave wrote it for himself : "My engagement to Miss 
Madelon Weir is the biggest event of my life." This was before he had his 
wedding day to mark up as the large date. The celebration of his marriage 
was thoroughly Princeton in spirit. Hinman Bird was best man and among 
the ushers were Vip Voorhees, Bill Motter and Harry Ambrose. 

About the time of his marriage, he resigned from the presidency of the 
American Rim Company, a concern he had organized and got financed in 
order to put upon the market a special automobile rim designed by Gerard 
Lambert, 1908. His new work with the Weir Frog Company, with head- 
quarters in Cincinnati, occupies only part of his time. He therefore expects 
to spend most of his time at the home he and Mrs. Vanderbilt have just 
completed on Long Island. 

Shave's hobby is "horses". Of athletics at college and their subsequent 
effect upon him. Shave naively remarks that he feels "no bad 
effects at all". There is a touch of grim humor in this when 
you remember the wholesale slaughter he used to practise on entire coi;n- 
panies of Columbia's basketball best, besides hammering in bunches of 1905 
and 1907 heads in peerades and other annihilations. It would fit the case 
better to find out the bad efifects victims have felt. Shave has kept up a 
good deal of college athletic activity. He rides and plays tennis, has been on 
the squash team of the Princeton Club of New York, and is a member of 
Squadron A of the New York militia, with which he recently went to war 
in the militia campaign in Connecticut. 

In politics, he's a Republican but he doesn't bother the party much except 
to vote regularly. He's for Woodrow Wilson for the presidency, believes in 
a tariff for revenue, in the supervision of corporations "to keep them honest 
in every sense of the word," and is against woman suffrage and the new 



202 



schemes of government. He has been doing a big amount of work for 
W'oodrow in the fall (1912) campaign as chairman of the organization com- 
mittee of the Wilson College Men's League. 

Shave, while we think, do tell us about "Nearmah". Would it mean 
the same if you spelled it in simplified spelling without the "h"? Is it 
some derivation from the Sanskrit? 

The department "Religious and Philanthropic" centres with Shave in 
membership in the Episcopal Church. He writes : 

"The spirit of cordiality and hospitality shown me by members of 1906 
on my trips to different cities is one of the finest demonstrations to me of 
what the spirit of the Class means."

Born September 30, 1883. Son of Isaiah Van Metre of Martinsburg, W. Va., 
and Eleanor Van Metre of Fall River, Mass. Prepared at Morgan 
Park Academy, Morgan Park, 111. Left Princeton June 1903. Member

Married Louise G. Watkins, June 19, 1907, at Merriam Park, Minn. 

Louise Genevieve Van Metre born May 8, 1908, at Highland Park, 111. 
Ricker Van Metre, Jr., born May 26, 1910, at Evanston 111. 

After leaving Princeton, Ricker Van Metre took two years' work in the 
law department of the University of Minnesota. In his occupation in lumber 
work, he has made a special study of "Scientific management and the per- 
sonal efficiency of men." He has done much reading along economic lines. 
He does not now engage in sports, but from the work he did in track at 
college he writes : "Good effects, from knowing limit of endurance." 

Special interest? "Family." 

His work was his own choice and suits him well. In politics, he is a 
Woodrow Wilson man, a conservative, though he favors the new doctrines 
excluding the recall of judges but including woman suffrage. He advocates 
federal incorporation and a bureau of corporations.

JACQUES LEONARD VAUCLAIN 

(ab) Rosemont, Pennsylvania 
(c) The Baldv^in Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, Pa. 

Born May 12, 1884. Son of Samuel Mathews Vauclain, of Philadelphia, and 
- Annie Kearney Vauclain, born in Ireland. Prepared at the WilHam 
Penn Charter School. C.E., Princeton, 1906. Subscribes to Alumni 
Weekly. Has attended the three large reunions. 

You can take your choice in figuring out who Jack really is in the 
Baldwin Locomotive Works. He may be an oiler, he may be a boiler maker. 
Possibly he's the brains of the whole works. Who knows? All Jack says 
about it is that he's an "employe of the Baldwin Locomotive Works." Pop 
Seeley caught him at work though one time out in Oregon, and told on him. 
Pop said that Jack had been in the State on a job and had invented a new 
fire box for locomotives that made possible the use of a low grade coal mined 
in the State in abundance. The Harriman lines — it might have been the 
Hill roads — were so delighted that they placed a big order for locomotives 
with the Baldwin Works. That's the kind of an employe he is. 

But things like this are simple to talk about when there has been only 
one big event in Jack's career so far. Only those who know him well and 
his love for the simple single life, can realize what an epoch making date 
was June 30 when his engagement to Miss Myra Elliot was announced. 
According to present plans they will have been married before this book is 
published. 

One other important event in Jack's history is that he missed the Yale- 
Princeton Commencement game this year (1912) for the first time since the 
year the Class entered college. We hereby record his grief. It wasn't his 
fault. You see, he's a traveler. 

If you are flitting widely round the country, you are more likely to run 
into him than if you stay at home. He's up in Banff, Western Canada, one 
time ; soon after in Texas ; next in Europe and then again in York Harbor, 
Me. 

204 



In Banff, Jack ran into the other big game hunter of the Class, Sam Reid 
in 191 1. It is learned from Banff that not all the bear and mountain sheep 
were shot off during the Vauclain-Reid hunting tour, but it is a fact that 
Jack's stomach trouble that he went out to cure got considerably better. In 
Texas, it was locomoting that Jack did ; in Europe, the same. The errand in 
York Harbor, the Class is left to guess. 

As you do not look for engaged persons to be writing dissertations on 
politics or philanthropy, it is natural to expect that the Vauclain answers to 
the circular were a series of dashes. He did volunteer however that he 
believes in Federal supervision of corporations as to their business methods 
and the issuing of securities under a voluntary Federal charter. This from 
an "employe", of the Baldwin Locomotive Wlorks is interesting. 

Congratulations to you. Jack, from the Class, on the "Big Event" ! 

DONALD CUYLER VAUGHAN 

(ab) Garden City, New York 
(c) Care of Mitchell Kennerley, 2 East Twenty-ninth Street, 
New York City 

Publisher. General manager of the publishing business of Mitchell 
Kennerley. 

Born May 24, 1884. Son of Arthur C. Vaughan and Ida Morrison Kimball 
Vaughan. Prepared at St. Paul's School, Garden City. A.B., Princeton 
1906. Member of the Princeton Club of New York., Subscribes to 
the Alumni Weekly. Attended the first and third year reunions. 

Married Ethel Thome Parsons, July 15, 1909, at Garden City, L. I. 

Donald Cuyler Vaughan, Jr., born October i, 1910, at Garden City. 

Since Don's record came in, he, with a friend, has bought the Mitchell 
Kennerley book store. They carry an exceptionally attractive lot of books 
and are making a specialty of rare volumes and Belles-Lettres. His reading 
has been general, scattered, wide, unsystematic. 

"I have tried to study every part and the whole wherever I have been," 
he writes of special work. 

Sports? "Play tennis every possible minute all summer — am always a 
bit of a walker." 

Special interests? "Literature, art, music — most of all wife, home and 
family." 

He has traveled in most of the states and in England, Scotland, France. 
He is interested in several countries outside of the United States. "Business 
and my reading interests are in nearly all the older civilizations," he says. 

Don has views on foreign mission work. "I consider it a veritable crime 
until there is no more want* suffering or degradation in our own and other 
so-called civilized lands." 

Politics? Oh, well, what's the use with a man who has a literary spirit.

High School. Left Princeton December 1903. 

Married Ethel Bayne Steuart, May 30, 191 1, in Baltimore, Md. 

"Sorry to have put you to extra trouble. I always intended to answer 
previous requests, but you may have heard what some wise guy said about 
that winding crooked path of good intent. Regards and success. 

Sincerely, 
R. G. V." 

RUSSELL CHARLES VEIT 

(ab) 171 West Seventy-first Street, New York City 
(c) Standard Oil Co., 26 Broadway, New York City 

Business. With the Standard Oil Company as more or less a sales- 
man. 

Born July 21, 1882. Entered Princeton, September, 1903. Litt.B., Princeton 
1906, Member of the Princeton Club of New York. Attended first 
reunion. 

Real interests? "Music, Art Collecting, TraveHng." 

Russell lines up the world as the scenes of his travel, — ^the Orient, Brit- 
ain, Europe. Germany appeals to him strongly. "I have many friends there 
and I like the musical atmosphere," he writes. 

How when we meditate on these things can we escape the conclusion that 
after all, the Standard Oil must be wicked, to keep tied up in its toils our 
Artist-Musician Russell! Here at last is the crime of 26 Broadway! 

Russell throws politics off from him. "I am not public spirited," he says 
with just that same old debonair devilment spirit of his. We know it. 

Woman suffrage, however? "NO", in manful capitals. 

Russell leaves "sports" blank. He has read chiefly standard fiction. He 
plants himself squarely against the foreign mission evil. His work, he says, 
was chiefly a matter of circumstances. 

"Though I have had many experiences that were very interesting to me,"" 
writes Russell, "I cannot recall a single one that would interest the class." 

Deucedly disappointing, Russell, this. But do think up some for that 
Seventh reunion. We'll be expecting them.

CLIFFORD IRVING VOORHEES 

(a c) National Bank of New Jersey Building, New Brunswick, 
N.J. 
(b) 43 Bayard Street, New Brunswick, N. J. 

Lawyer. General practice. 

Born August 4, 1884. Son of Abraham Voorhees and Martha J. Voorhees. 
Prepared at Lawrenceville School. A.B., Princeton 1906; L.L.B., New 
York Law School 1909. Member of the Princeton Club of New 
York. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Has attended all the re- 
unions. 

The first reply to the Class circular was Vip's. It came back return 
mail. Our hats off to you, Vip, even if it does fill us with remorse for our 
delay with the book. 

Suffice it to say, getting down to brass tacks, that Vip still has a good 
story or two he can tell. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither be ye 
afraid. The seventh reunion, the tenth after it and several others still to 
come, are safe. Yes, safe. We had Vip out tuning up on a few pleasant 
yarns at the Larchmont Chowder party and he is just on edge to lead the 
brethren in song and fireside story next June. He is telling very well, thank 
you, those simple homely little tales of the hearth-side, folk-lore and pastoral 
hymns, such as he has told so well before. So, brethren, burnish up all your 
own new legends against the day in June 1913 that we meet once more a- 
tenting in Princeton, listening in vain for quiescent quietude. 

Vip, we crown you hereby, herewith, and hereof, eternal master of 
mirth and merriment reverently ruling reunions. 

And now for some biography. First of all — On Wives. 

"My life has been uneventful — not even married yet," says Vip mayhap 

207 



in mournful numbers. "And when I think of so many of our classmates 
happily married, I feel envious." Do we hear any tendency to sob in this? 
Of course not. Listen ! It is only by contrast that we get the full radiance 
and grandeur of this peroration — "I feel envious — but then, a few of us 
must remain as we are (praise be ye bachelors) if our future reunions are 
to be successful, for our married members must have some excuse for a 
few days' vacation each June, and there is none better than to get back with 
the boys again." 

What wisdom ! What mercy ! O most learned, most generous, most 
sacrificing Vip ! What inspiration to us, O bachelors, is this example of our 
leader! And may praises forever rise in this fond Class of ours that there 
is still alive such a devoted band of song-singing, smoke-eating, story-telling, 
yea verily at times even beer-drinking, reunion-loving bachelors ! Honor 
them, ye married ones enslaved ! 

Vip has made long strides in his profession from all we hear — and we 
are not deaf, neither have we become blind. He has attained position and 
strength in his practice. He went directly into law and settled in his home 
state of New Jersey which is jealous both of the fine reputation of its judi- 
ciary and the high standing of the bar. 

In his political views he is a conservative and for William H. Taft. He 
is a believer in a tariff for revenue only and government supervision of cor- 
porations to prevent unreasonable monopoly. Always chivalrous, he grants 
woman suffrage if restricted to freeholders. 

His reading since college has been along lines of fiction and history and 
his sports have been chiefly tennis and golf. 

In spite of all which, we would have you know, he is the same old jovial 
friend and delightful companion. 



THOMAS ENNALLS WAGGAMAN 

(a) Annapolis, Maryland 

(b) 4 Revell Street, Annapolis, Maryland 

(c) Advertiser Building, Annapolis; Central Savings Bank

Real estate and insurance business. Studying law at Maryland Uni- 
versity, Baltimore. 

Born November 2, 1883. Son of John F. Waggaman of Fairfax Co., Va., and 
Alice Virginia Wilson Waggaman of Washington, D. C. Prepared at 
Public Schools; Episcopal High School of Virginia; University 
School, Washington, D. C. ; Lawrenceville and others. Entered Prince- 
ton September, 1902; left December, 1903. Member of the Princeton 
Club of New York City. Attended first, third, and fifth reunions. 

Married Frances Margaret Fuller, October 6, 1906.

Thomas Ennalls Waggaman, Jr., born July 20, 1907, in Washington 

D. C. 
Frances-Virginia Waggaman, born October i, 1910, at Annapolis, Md. 

We hope, Ennalls, that your bright young life has not been blighted, 
especially by the second unfortunate event you tell of. W^e^ quote: 

"I endeavored to get the organization to back me for our Legislature, 
but was unfortunate this time, though I believe that if I still want it two 
years hence I can get it. 

"I was offered the managership of an aeroplane company in November, 
but the proposition was bitterly opposed by the 'whole damn family' and 
therefore I started in to study law instead." 

Serious illness since leaving college? "Yes, two children, but am feeling 
better now." 

How thankful we are, Ennalls, that you have recovered so manfully after 
this trying ordeal. 

(In the cause of science we publish this statement of an original and baf- 
fling male complaint. We trust the doctors of the Class will get further infor- 
mation for diagnosis from Ennalls. We have heard of only one other case like 
it. Vip Voorhees tells the story of the other man and must tell it at the 
next reunion.) 

In between his illnesses and business obstacles, Ennalls seems to have a 
good deal of fun. These are his sports, — "Bridge and Auction." He has 
his hobby, — "Moving-pictures". And he enjoys his heavy reading in fiction, — 
"The Saturday Evening Post." 

As for politics, he is deeply interested, we take it, so deeply that he 
dare not divulge his inside work for the organization. "I refuse to answer," 
says Ennalls with the craft of a Murphy, "on the grounds that it might tend 
to incriminate or degrade me." Here's another subject in the dark life of 
Ennalls Waggaman that must be investigated. He is a Democrat and 
answering whether he is a radical, middler or conservative, answers naively 
"Organization Man." He is a Woodrow Wilson man and is for woman 
suffrage with property qualifications. Speaking of woman suffrage, we heed 
with contrition his admonition against asking the date of birth of ladies. "It 
is quite evident from this question that the fellow who drew up the above 
paper is not a married man. A gentleman should never know the age of his 
women folks, — that is, for publication." We eat the dust, Ennalls, but the 
suffragists do lots bolder things than this for the cause. 

Ennalls is now on the highroad to the law. "Am now studying for the 
second time. Hope to get my degree this time," he writes and continues in 
regard to his outside work : "Have done considerable civic progress work ; 
also have written for local paper a number of special articles." 

HENRY BABCOCK WALKER 

(a c) 217 Upper Third Street, Evansville, Indiana 
(b) 522 Upper Second Street, Evansville 

209 



Lawyer. Member of the firm of Walker & Walker. 

Born March lo, 1885. Son of James T. Walker and Lucy B. Walker, both 
of Evansville, ind. A.B., Princeton 1906. Attended first reunion. 

Married Dorothy Rachel Griffith, June 17, 1909, at Evansville Ind. 
Anne Griffith Walker, born April 23, 191 1, at Evansville. 

In his letter to the triennial record, Hank enumerated his various activi- 
ties at that time and pointed out that politics was the only sphere in life in 
which he was not participating. This want has now been supplied. As an 
enrolled member of the Democratic party, he has since then done public 
speaking in the campaigns, has acted as an election officer, and actually knows 
the names of his representatives in the local, State and Federal Governments. 
(N. B. — It is wonderful to note how many men took the trouble to look 
this up before answering the circular.) 

As a Wilson man he stands for the initiative, the referendum, and the 
recall except of judges, a tariff for revenue only and supervision of corpora- 
tions by commission. 

He has done some special Bible study since graduation. His reading 
has chiefly been along economic lines. 

He has kept up his athletics to a consideirable extent since leaving college. 
He writes : "I find that I have a great need for exercise and am nervous 
vrithout it, probably more than if I had not had so much in college." He is 
one of a basketball team which is a member of a basketball league and has 
also done some rowing. 

In religious work he has been very active as a member of Y. M, 
C. A., the Presbyterian Church, assistant superintendent in the Sabbath School 
and the teacher of a class of boys. He conducts two classes of boys in Bible 
work and is an assistant in a boys' club. 

From all the ajbove it would seem that his life is a very full one indeed, 
although he writes, "Rather uneventful so far as real interest to outsiders 
is concerned." 

"Line 14 on first page" contains statement of Hank's special interest in 
life. "Line 14, first page" of the circular reads : "Ann Griffith Walker, born 
April 23, 1911." 

WILLIAM HEMMINGS WALSH

Ensign. United States Navy, retired. 

Born September 16, 1883. Son of Bernard J. Walsh of New Orleans, La., and 
Laura M, Walsh of New York City. Prepared at Boy's High School, 
Brooklyn, N. Y, Entered Princeton September, 1902; left April 1903. 
Certificate of graduation from the U. S. Naval Academy. 

Ensign Bill Walsh, United States Navy, retired, though a participant in 

210 



the joys and sorrows of the Class of 1906 for only a short year, when by the 
way the Class was chiefly long on sorrows at the hands of wicked Sopho- 
mores, has kept up a very decided interest in the Class and in Princeton. 
He received his designation to the Naval Academy from Congressman Bassett 
of Brooklyn in April 1903 and left Princeton where he, Sam Reid and Lou 
Froelick were room-mates, to prepare for entrance to Annapolis. He was 
graduated from the Academy four years later with high rank. While in the 
academy, he was in football and was active in undergraduate organization 
work. He was appointed to the battleship Virginia after the regular mid- 
shipman cruise and as a middle on the big battleship started on the loilg 
cruise around the world with the Fleet in 1907. On the battleship he was in 
charge of the crew's sports and played football on the ship's team as well 
as rowed in one of the racing boats. When the fleet got around to Magdalena 
Bay, Bill suddenly found that his health had given way. He has spent the 
years since at Las Animas, Colorado, and the last year, 1911-1912, at Saranac 
Lake. 

It is a great delight to be able to inform the Class that he is now well on 
the highway to complete restoration of health and that within a short time 
we are assured, he will be completely well. His illness he does not lay to his 
athletics at the Academy. 

He is so far recovered that he is considering very immediately the plan 
of settling in Oregon or Washington for farming or engineering work, and 
as soon as he has begun active work again, we look for him to complete in 
another line the brilliant career he had ahead of him in the Navy. 

We congratulate you. Bill, on your engagement to Miss Mary Kendrick 
Christie of Detroit which has just been announced, while extending at the 
same time our felicitations on your recovery and wishing you long life and 
prosperity.

Bill Westcott doesn't take any chances in his reading or on the authority 
for it. He applies right to Dr. Eliot, lays in the Doctor's "five foot shelf", 
and goes to it. His hobbies are fishing, automobiling and gardening. He 
believes in Taft and a tariff for revenue at the same time and speaks for 
"parental oversight" of corporations, 

"First reunion, only one I have attended, suited me all O.K." Try 
another. Bill.

WARREN CALVIN WHITNEY 

(a c) The A. B. Chase Co., Norwalk, Ohio 

Vice-president and director of the A. B. Chase Co., manufacturers 
of pianos. 

Born October 9, 1882. Son of Calvin Whitney and Marian Dean Whitney, 
both of Ohio. Prepared at the University School, Cleveland, Ohio. 
B.S., Princeton 1906. Subscribes to Alumni Weekly. Attended second 
and fourth reunions. 

Where can one begin in describing a life so full of stirring deeds, poetic 
feeling, and public spirited activity as that of our own Warren Calvin, of 
Norwalk? His biographer is thrilled with the excitement of his career. 
With what abandon he would sit about the board at Renwick's hostelry as an 
undergraduate and throw the blackened toothpick in the noble game of 
"Pig's Eye"! How much greater has been his accompHshment since journey- 
ing through the later five or six years in the great wide world of Norwalk ! 
Picture our lofty browed young Pericles in the market place of Norwalk, 
exhorting the multitudes of that metropolis, upwards of forty-nine people, 
enflaming them almost to violence with passionate oratory, urging them to 
replace the old time-honored hand-pumped fire-engine with a modern auto- 
mobile fire-fighter, mounted with an A. B. Chase player-piano! In all the 
records of the public spirited citizenship of our country is there anything so 
touching as this? Here are the very words of our hero on his Norwalk 
political wars : "Have campaigned strongly in local politics for school bonds 
and the automobile fire-engine. The former lost; the latter won." Are you 
ready — Three locomotives ! 

Whoever says that college men do not get into politics with a slam bang, 
let him read this and be penitent. 

It is with politics that we shall begin the story of Cap W. C. Whitney. 
Hotly, he campaigned for President Taft in the Taft-Roosevelt primary 
squabble. He did sign up one man, the best and only horse-car conductor 
Norwalk ever had, as a Taft man. Then King Theodore Khaki pulled into 
town just the day before the primary election. Norwalk land-slid for him, 
and the next day Cap closed the piano factory in memory of a departed 
friend. That was one event in Cap's political life. In spite of this, Judge 
Dillon, who refused the Republican nomination for the Governorship of 
Ohio, continues to allow Cap to be his brother-in-law. Cap's own modest 
estimate of the sum of his political activity is "Nothing, except to speak a 
good word for the best mian." Along these lines, he chooses Woodrow for 
the Presidency and Taft, second choice. He believes in woman suffrage. 

Of course. Cap has to throw in a little free advertising of that everlasting 
Norwalk place. Imagine a man having a hobby like this and freely owning 
up to it: 

'"Boosting anything that will make Norwalk, Ohio, the 'Centre of the 
Universe' in fact as well as in name." 



One needs to be a trustee of the Methodist Church after a confession like 
that, so Cap puts down his virtues in rehgious and philanthropic spheres this 
way about his active work in the Church: 

"First — A trustee; second — Pay my subscriptions; third — Trustee of 
Ohio Wesleyan University." Not only this, but Cap is much interested in 
the local Salvation Army and has organized a "Young Boosters' Club," which 
seems to be some local affair peculiar to Norwalk and similar obscure 
villages. 

Cap has been in the piano manufacturing business since leaving college. 
Upon the death of his father who was the president of the company, he 
became the active head three years ago. His responsibilities have kept him 
from the big reunions at Princeton, but he has been able to get back for the 
off years, the second, fourth and sixth. He writes : 

"As it was impossible for me to attend the first, third and fifth, I can 
only suggest that some one fix it up with the powers that be so that I can 
be there for all the rest." 

When last heard from Cap was recuperating in a two months' vacation 
at Estes Park, Colorado, during the last summer (1912). There was a report 
that he was there hunting a wife, but when interviewed, he called this base 
slander. He writes of the pleasures of Estes Park: 

"Entered their annual tennis tournament last week and my modesty 
almost forbids me to say that I drew a 'shark' in a young lady player from 
Chicago. We walked away with first prize. Not so bad for an old broken 
down sport! As usual I allowed the lady to do all the hard work, while I 
took all the glory." 

Even the mighty relax.

Sailing is Si's hobby. And he keeps at it a lot of the time sum- 
mers. Law practice to the winds these times, we take it. Si completed his 
work at the Universitj^ of Michigan with the degree of L.L.B. in 1909. He 
wrote for the Michigan Law Review. Though his profession was largely a 
matter of circumstances, he has found it to be the thing best suited to him 
and intends to stay in it. His brand of politics is the Conservative-Republi- 
can-Tariff-for-Revenue-Woodrow-Wilson brand, seemingly specially prepared 
for 1906. 

Thirty-three states and fourteen foreign lands have greeted him in travel. 

ELIOT CHURCHILL WILLIAMS 

(ac) Room 502, 156 Fifth Avenue, New York City 

Publishing. Vice-president of the Andrew Stevenson Publishing 
Co., owning and syndicating twenty-three reHgious publications. 

Born May 17, 1883. Son of John Charles Williams and Harriet A. Irwin 
Williams of Lodus, N. Y. Prepared at Evanston High School. Entered 
Princeton September, 1903. Litt.B., Princeton 1906. 

Married Edith A. Williams, June 29, 1907, at Princeton, N. J. 
Irwin A. Williams born May 24, 1908, in Evanston, 111. 

Eliot Williams has been in the thick of the work of engineering a whole 
host of religious papers into a combine that is probably the strongest aggre- 
gation of religious publications in the country. 

li you are working up a corner on religion on us, Eliot, beware of the 
Interstate Commerce Commission ! Now that the organization work is com- 
pleted, the company running smoothly, and Eliot settled here in New York, 
he is happy and busy in helping it grow. 

He has been active in religious and social work. He has done settlement 
work for boys, has taught Sunday School and although not actively, has been 
interested in foreign missions. 

His reading has been rather scattered in history, biography, social studies 
and fiction. Tennis is his game. Politically, he is a Progressive, before the 
nomination, standing for either Roosevelt or Wilson, But he doesn't fall for 
woman suffrage nor for the initiative and referendum, though he would recall 
everybody not a judge, if they needed it. Having combined 23 or more news- 
papers and magazines, he is for combinations, restricted ones, and only 
moderate government regulation of these institutions would suit him. Pro- 
tection is his tariff principle. He has acted as judge of elections several times.

Business. District traffic chief, in the New York Telephone Com- 
pany, with general supervision and responsibility for telephone 
service in the city of Albany and village of Altamont. 

Eorn December 26, 1882. Son of Joseph Merrill Williams of Syracuse, N. Y., 
and Mary Morley Williams of New York City. Prepared at the 
Bioomfield High Scool. A.B., Princeton 1906. Member of the Uni- 
versity Club of Albany. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended 
the first and fifth reunions. 

"I graduated on June 13 and started in business with the New York 
Telephone Company on the next Monday, June 18. I have never regretted 
my choice and the work becomes continually more interesting," writes Ray 
Williams., Regarding his choice of this work, he says : "I had intended to 
study law until senior year when I abandoned the idea. I had heard of the 
telephone business by chance. It appealed to me. I made application, was 
accepted and have been perfectly satisfied with my choice. I feel that it is 
the work best suited to me and so far as I can tell now, intend it to be my 
life work." 

His special study has been in traffic and operating conditions. Fiction 
and history have received some attention but not much. Ray is active in 
the work of the Sunday School and the Christian Endeavor of the Presby- 
terian Church. He does little work in athletics. In politics he is a conserv- 
ative Republican with no faith in the new doctrines. His travels have been 
in 14 states and Canada. 

ARTHUR EDWIN WILSON 

(ab) 230 South Fairmont Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. 
(c) Frick Annex, Pittsburgh 

Lawyer. 

Born December 19, 1883. Son of John A. Wilson of Pennsylvania and 
Helen Arnot Wilson of Scotland. Prepared at Shady Side Academy. 
B.S., Princeton 1906. Taught mathematics for two years at the Pensa- 
cola Qassical School, Pensacola, Fla. LL.B., University of Pittsburgh 
1911. Member of Princeton Association of Western Pennsylvania. 
Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Attended the first reunion. 

With unfortunate legal reserve, Art has refused to commit himself on 
m.ost of the questions propounded in the circular. But one or two salient 
facts can be gathered. He declares his belief in Government supervision of 
corporations to the fullest extent and in the initiative, referendum and recall 
of officers and judges and then classifies himself, not as a socialist, not even 
as a radical, but as a Middler. He is for Woodrow Wilson. 

He further confesses that he almost believes in woman suffrage. Oh, 
if we only knew the name of his political boss ! Almost persuaded ! But 

215 



surely now that Leap Year has arrived, we may look for a fully settled 
conviction on this point in the near future. 

His chief sport since graduation has been tennis and he has maintained 
a state of monotonous good health since leaving college. 

EUGENE DUTILH WISNER 

(a) Hobart Avenue, Summit, New Jersey 
(be) Internationl Banking Corporation, Shanghai, China 

Banking. With the International Banking Corporation. 

Born November 7, 1883. Son of John Horner Wisner and Isabel Read 
Wisner, both of New York. Prepared at St. George's Hall, Summit, 
N. J. Left Princeton in 1906. Member of the Princeton Club of New 
York. Subscribes to the Alumni Weekly. Has been abroad at time 
of reunions. 

Wu Da Ren, ni dzai Chung Wha, dzen ma lai dao Princeton, Chi Nien 
dy Reunion? Fear you can't make the Seventh from off there across the 
bay, on the coast of far Cathay, Wis Da Ren. But if you can't be here, 
there's no better place to be than where you are in the Middle Kingdom and 
we're glad that the Oriental Department of the Class is so well represented on 
the Hills of Tang as it is in Jack Goodeno, planting the Princeton light house 
at Amoy in the south of China, yourself at Shanghai in the middle and Ame 
Hoagland at Peking in the north of the big new Republic. 

Our trio of real Sinologues, we're proud of. The Class is truly born of 
the Orient, with a Class Boy, a Prince of the Imperial Household; a national 
Celestial costume, and three leading Sinologues at the front. 

Gene Wisner had his course laid China-wards long before he could reckon 
it out for himself. His father was in the China trade for forty-five years. 
His brothers were born there. He has one married brother living in Shanghai. 

Gene's mother in Summit, N. J., has very kindly told us about him, for 
when a man is two and a half month's away from a letter and a reply, a 
Class Book seems a very distant object. 

He entered the service of the International Corporation soon after leaving 
college, working at first in New York. After six months, his travels around 
the world began. He was sent to London, where he spent three years. A 
big jump followed, and Wis next found himself in Manila for a year. During 
the two years since then, he has been in Shanghai. In London, he took a 
course in banking at King's College and passed the exams with honor. His 
work has occupied practically all his time, so that he has done little in sports, 
outside of some track work. His work has been so confining and hours so 
long that time for special outside interests has faded away. 

It will be nearly time to wish our Confucian philosopher a Happy New 
Year when this book reaches him, so we join with the sons of the Son of 
Heaven in wishing you, Wis, Nien Wan Shou, and if you can't take 

216 



10,000 years of long life, take as many degrees of good luck as the hoary old 
empire has thousands of years of honorable long life. 

THOMAS MULLEN WOODWARD 

(ab) 311 North Thirty-seventh Street, Philadelphia 
(c) 601 Morris Building, Philadelphia 

Lawyer. 

Born March 2, 1884. Son of Winfield Scott Woodward of Chester County, 
Pa,, and Katherine Carroll Woodward of Philadelphia, Pa. Prepared 
at Central High School, Philadelphia ; A.B., Princeton 1906. Spent one 
year after graduation with W. S. Woodward and Co. LL.B., Uni- 
versity of Pennsylvania 19 10, Attended the third and fifth reunions. 

Tom writes that he has taken some part in politics, holding the position 
of local election officer, which is elective. He also did some canvassing and 
organizing work for the Blankenburg Reform movement in Philadelphia. 

In his political views he professes belief both in unlimited competition in 
business and in government supervision of corporations so far as necessary. 
He is a free trader. He declines to put any faith in the vox populi and 
condemns the initiative, referendum and recall. He fails to commit himself 
as to whether he is a conservative, radical or middler, which is commendable 
reticence in these days. He is for Woodrow Wilson. 

In religion Tom appears not quite so sure of himself as in the realm of 
politics, for, while declaring himself to be a member of "a church", he appar- 
ently, alas, has forgotten its name, since that question remains unanswered. 

His reading has chiefly been along historical lines. He has traveled to 
some extent both in this country and abroad and is intimately interested in 
England. 

ARCHIBALD CARTER WORTH, JR. 

(a b c) 33 Clinton Avenue, Albany, N. Y. 

Physician. 

Born July 7, 1885. Son of Archibald Carter Worth and Elizabeth Anderson 
Huske Worth, both of North Carolina. Prepared at the Englewood 
School for Boys, Englewood, N. J. A.B., Princeton 1906; M.D., New 
York Homeopathic Medical College and Flower Hospital 1910. Mem- 
ber of the Princeton Club of Albany. Attended the first reunion. 

Doctor Archie Worth has established himself in practice as physician at 
Albany, N. Y. We hear good things of his medical work. Though there 
are a certain few particulars in the life of a medic that Dr. Archie feels 
could be improved, he is strong for it and will continue hard at it for good 

217 



and all. Politics have troubled him little. He is a Wilson man and a "Con- 
servative". Of Woman Suffrage? "Am inclined to favor same." 

How about the Seventh reunion, Archie? Give Albany a chance for a 
day or two in seven years. Here's to "the shortest man in the Class" — do 
we hear a challenge from Bill Oakford? — short in stature, big in heart, and 
to our only disciple of Hahnemann, greetings and good luck! 



NOTICE TO THE CLASS !

Baltimore, Maryland. 
Dear Mr. Froelick, 

I have received the blanks which you sent me and in regard to filling 
these out, I beg to say that as I was at Princeton only two or three months, 
1 hardly feel that I could class myself as a "full-fledged" Princetonian. I 
regret that this is the case but under the circumstances do not feel that it 
would be right for me to be represented in the class, having been at the 
College such a short time. 

Thanking you for remembering me and with best wishes, I beg to remain, 

Very sincerely, 

George M. Stieff. 
The following letter is different : 

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. 
Dear Sir, 

I can't answer your list of questions because I have lost them. 
I would consider it a kindness if you would remove my name from the 
class roll and not send me any more letters concerning same. I have neither 
interest nor money for Princeton. 

Yours truly, 

George Bergner.

RESOLUTION ON THE ELECTION OF PRESIDENT HIBBEN 

ADOPTED BY THE CLASS AT THE CLASS 

DINNER IN NEW YORK 

February 3, 1912 

Whereas the Class of 1906 has assembled this evening for 
the purpose of renewing old friendships not only, but also for the 
purpose of finding in those friendships, and in the pleasant recollec- 
tion of our days at Princeton, a new inspiration for better service to 
our country and consequent honor to our Alma Mater ; and 

Whereas in the renewal of these ties our minds have been 
instinctively drawn to the consideration of one member of the 
faculty with whom we were for four years associated, whose life 
was a constant inspiration to the best that was in us, whose friend- 
ship was a pleasure, whose instruction was both interesting and 
profitable, and whose uniformly just attitude toward the students 
and student life has earned for him a nickname, the sincerity of 
which can never be doubted by any one who has heard it shouted 
from the steps of Old Nassau by the singing seniors ; and 

Whereas we remember with pleasure that we were privileged 
at Commencement to receive our diplomas from the hands of this 
gentleman, as Acting President of the University, thereby forecast- 
ing an honor recently bestowed upon him ; now, therefore, be it 

Resolved, That the Class of 1906 heartily endorses the action of 
the Board of Trustees, which has recently brought universal satis- 
faction to the great body of Princeton alumni, and the probability of 
added glory to the University, in the selection of Dr. John Grier 
Hibben, Ph.D., LL.D., as President of Princeton, and hereby 
extends to President Hibben this expression of our confidence in 
him, our affection for him, and our ardent wish that his incumbency 
may cover a period of years to be long remembered in the annals of 
Princeton's progress ; and be it further 

Resolved, That these resolutions be inscribed in the journals 
of our class, and a copy thereof, duly signed by the officers of the 




President Hibben 



class and such other ntembers as may be designated by the Class 

President, be sent to President Hibben.

Beaty and Albert Potter. 



PRESIDENT HIBBEN'S LETTER TO THE CLASS. 

Princeton University. 

President's Room Princeton, N. J. February 24, 1912 

My Dear Mr. Reid, 

I wish to express through you to the Class of 1906 my very deep 
appreciation of the resolutions of the Class concerning my election 
to the Presidency of Princeton. To receive from your Class this 
assurance of your good will and esteem, of your confidence in me 
and of your affection, warms my heart, and inspires me with courage 
and hope for the difficult tasks which are before me. For the 
Princeton we all so devotedly love, there is much thought and energy 
and sacrifice which must be expended in the years to come. It is 
your work and mine, it is our common work together. 

To you all individually, the Class of 1906, I hope there will come 
abundant success and happiness. May God bless you every one. 

Faithfully yours, 

John Grier Hibben.

JOHN CADWALLADER WALLER 
Died April 8, 1910, at Skaneatelas, N. Y., after a short attack 
of diabetes. He had contracted the disease three years before but 
had recovered after a severe illness. He was 26 years old at the 
time of his death and was attending the Syracuse Law School, pre- 
paratory to taking the bar examinations that spring. 

The members of the Class of 1906 of Princeton University have 
just learned with deepest sorrow of the death of their friend and 
classmate, John Cadwallader Waller, at his home in Skaneatelas, 
N, Y., on April 8, 1910. 

We feel that there is not a man in the Class who did not count 
him as a friend worth having. His cheery ways and his attitude 
to all of us made him very dear. There isn't a man who doesn't 
remember his pleasant words as they met on the campus or in the 
classroom. 

His going is a real loss which we all feel deeply. The friendships 
of our college days are so dear to us all that we cannot lose a friend 
like this without feeling a loss we can never replace. 

Only his family can have the same feeling as ourselves. We 
hope in a small way we may share their sorrows.

CHARLES LOUIS QUINTARD 

Killed on May 14, 1910, by a falling slab of marble, as he was 
leaving the corridor of the Mutual Life Building, 34 Nassau Street, 
New York City, through the Liberty Street exit. He died a few 
hours later in the hospital. His skull had been fractured. He did 
not regain consciousness. 

The news of the loss of our friend and classmate, Charles Louis 
Quintard, on May 14, 19 10, came as a very great shock to the mem- 
bers of the Class of 1906 of Princeton University. 

The loss of one whom we all so deeply loved and respected is 
in itself a very depressing thing, but to have him taken in such a 
sudden and unnecessary way leaves us unable to comprehend it. 

Our friendships made in college are to us all the most cherished 
of our possessions, and each year instead of growing apart, the 
bonds of friendship draw us closer together. That is why the loss 
of a friend like Deac means so much to us. 

Only his family can realize our feelings. We hope they may 
in a way understand ours, and that it may make their sorrow just 
a little bit less.

OREN NEWTON DAGES 
Drowned at Lake Magog, Massachusetts, September, 21, 1910, 
while trying to save Miss Gibson Morse. He had reached her and 
was swimming with her to shore, when she was taken with cramp. 
Both were drowned. He was 25 years old and was about to enter 
the Massachusetts General Hospital as interne. 

We of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Six, Princeton 
University, have just learned with the deepest sorrow of the death 
of our classmate, Oren Newton Dages, on September 21, 1910, by 
drowning in an attempt to save another's life. 

We cannot convey in mere words the shock which the news of 
his death has been to us. In the best of health, with a particularly 
bright future stretching out before him, it seems almost impossible 
that he has been taken from our midst. 

Nothing could have been more exemplary of his life among us 
at Princeton than the fact that he died in the performance of his 
duty. We all look back to our care free days in college and remem- 
ber the respect and esteem in which Oren was held, and those of 
us who knew him best were always proud to count him as a friend. 
There was no one who had the interest of the Class more at heart 
than Oren. He could always be counted on. 

Only his family can know the shock and irreparable loss which 
his death is to us. We hope that the sympathy of his classmates may 
tend in a measure to lighten their sorrow.

BAYARD STOCKTON, JR. 
Died July i, 1912, in New York City. He had recovered from a 
long and severe attack of pneumonia earlier in the year. This 
heavy illness greatly weakened him, though he was able to be with 
the Class both at the inauguration of President Hibben in May and 
at Commencement. His death was caused by an affection of the 
throat. 

The members of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Six of 
Princeton University mourn most deeply the loss of their friend 
and classmate, Bayard Stockton, Junior. The suddenness of his 
death came to his classmates as a severe shock. 

His life stands as an example of truest service to his Class and 
fondest love and loyalty to Princeton. In all Class assemblings, he 
was a moving spirit, both in their organization and conduct. His 
many services to the Class he performed without ostentation and 
with a cheerfulness that was inspiring. The same joyous energy 
and faithfulness characterized his work in his profession. His 
fellow members of the Mercer County Bar Association expressed 
their high esteem in electing him to the Secretaryship which he held 
to the time of his death. 

He was a faithful and loyal friend; a genial companion and a 
true Christian. Joyousness dominated his life, which breathed of 
the naturalness of the outdoors that he loved. His brightness 
and lovable personality refreshed all about him. He never lost 
the spirit of the happy life that was loved in college. His cheer- 
fulness even in his ill health benefited those who would have cheered 
him. 

May our expressions of sorrow and love be a comfort and con- 
solation to his grief -stricken family.

FREDERICK H. COSSITT MEMORIAL. 

Members of the Class will be interested in the memorial to Fred 
Cossitt, told of in the following clipping from the New York Times 
of June 5, 191 2: 

''A handsome addition to the West Side Young Men's Christian 
Association in Fifty-seventh Street, between Eighth and Ninth 
Avenues, has just been opened in the new F. H. Cossitt Memorial 
Dormitory, which occupies a large plot in Fifty-sixth Street directly 
in the rear of the main builidng. Mrs. A. D. Juilliard, aunt of the 
late Mr. Cossitt, who was killed while on his honeymoon trip about 
five years ago in a railroad collision between Liverpool and London, 
gave the greater part of the $500,000 for the building and the land. 

"The dormitory is eleven stories high, of an attractive architect- 
ural facade and has accommodations for 308 young men. It is 
open only to members of the Association and is the result of a 
systematic campaign carried on for several years by the officers of 
the Y. M. C. A. to provide comfortable living quarters amid pleasant 
associations for many of the young men who are living alone in the 
city."

STEWART ARTHUR MACKENZIE. Class Boy 
A Soliloquy 

When I left Princeton after the Third Reunion, I began to 
reaHze that great things would be expected of me at the Fifth 
Reunion. So I started to train. I had heard that I would have to 
throw the ball out to start the Yale-Princeton game. So I threw 
everything I could reach. Dad bought me a Junior League balL 
I pitched it into the eaves trough. Once it went through the window 
into the china closet. 

I did not want to appear too juvenile, so I assumed a blase air as 
of one accustomed to homage. I travelled much on the Fifth Avenue 
busses and gazed down like a king upon his minions. The circus 
sounded Hke a Quinquennial Reunion, so I tried that. I went down 
to' Princeton jolly well prepared, but it all turned out a surprise. 

First I was robed in a magnificent Chinese prince's coat with a 
hat of hand-woven silk and embroidered shoes. Then I was placed 
in a luxurious Htter. Four fat coolies carried me and there was a 
body guard, too. We peeraded in gorgeous procession around Os- 
borne Field. The crowds seemed to think 1906 some class. Near 
the home plate four mandarins lifted me out and handed me a 
baseball big as a world. It was a mighty swing I made and threw 
it almost ten feet. That started the Princeton- Yale game. A big 
Yale batter came up and fanned. It was fun. They told me later 
that the bulldog didn't die. It didn't matter much to me just then, 
because next day I got a cup for my own, down in the reunion tent. 
There was a big laughing crowd. Some one said "lets drink to him." 
I drank too but, alas, only water. My mama saw it first. But I 
don't blame the Class at all. It was a lovely cup. My oh ! What a 
beautiful time we had ! 

Granddaddy Mackenzie had such great sport that he promised to 
see me back to every reunion there is. 

Stewart Arthur Mackenzie.

The married and off-spring strength of the Class is not revealed 
m all its true glory in these figures because of the failure of 91 of 
the above 352 men to reply to tetters or circulars within the last 
three years. Of course among these 91, there are without doubt a 
number of unreported marriages and progeny. 

The performance of the Class in its duties toward the State, 
however, as shown in the report above, is exceedingly encouraging, 
not only in the actual accomplishment, but in the rich harvest that 
is promised. As there were no Princeton records immediately avail- 
able for comparison with a fifth year class, we have made the 
following comparison with the tenth year classes of Princeton, Yale 
and Harvard, statistics for which were placed at our disposal through 
the kindness of Walter E. Hope, Secretary of the, Class of 1901 of 
Princeton.

We congratulate the Class of 1901 of Princeton on its splendid 
deeds thus shown, which we understand is the Princeton record for 
ten years. Of course, a glance at the figures will show that if 75 of 
the remaining unmarried members of 1906 are only half as persua- 
sive before the fair sex as were the present 155 married ones, 1906 

241 



will equal this record with comparative ease. A word to the wise is 
sufficient. We confidently expect that between now and the Tenth 
Year Reunion, fully loo of our best young bachelors will have taken 
the necessary steps to have this performance of 1901 wiped out as a 
Princeton record. 

Our hats are off to Mrs. 1906. The Class of 1901 has set us a 
great record in its battalion of 219 children. Our own band of 79 is 
a sturdy lot. We are proud of them. Nineteen-one has set an 
exceedingly fast pace. At the same ratio, Nineteen-six must have a 
Junior Nineteen-six numbering 286 at the Tenth Year Reunion. 
There are four fat years ahead. Nineteen-six expects every man 
to do his duty.

hold the record for the Class in percentage of marriages, namely 
80 per cent. Next in order, it is rather surprising to find the news- 
paper men despite their long and unearthly hours of work, ranking 
second with a per cent, of 62 married. The ministers are 60 per cent, 
married. These groups, of course, are small in numbers and there- 
fore the percentages ranging around 50 per cent, and better 
shown in the next ranking groups, those of the manufacturers, the 
business men, the bankers and brokers, and the insurance and real 
estate men, with their larger numbers, are probably a fairer index 
of the marrying capacity of the Class, as differentiated in the various 
occupations. 

It is difficult and rather dangerous to draw conclusions from these 
statistics of marriage and those of income published in the following 
pages, as to the effect of the "high cost of living" and the standard 
of income upon the marrying capacity of college men. It may be 
noted, however, that with the exception of the ministers, and in 
a lesser degree the newspaper men, all of the groups of men who 
thus show percentages of married men above or around 50 per cent., 
are in the groups which rank well up near the top of the scale of 
income. 

All of these groups except the ministers and the newspaper men 
have yearly incomes at the fifth year not lower than $2,220. The 
advertising men with 80 per cent, married rank sixth in the scale of 
income, with a yearly return of $2,906.66. The manufacturers, who 
rank first among the big groups in point of marrying record, are 
fifth in the scale of income, with a yearly return of $3,008.33. The 
brokers, who with the bankers as one group, show a good propor- 
tion of married men, are fourth in the Hst of income, with a yearly 
return of $3,520. The bankers in tenth place in point of income 
are the lowest in this table of any of the big groups which are largely 
married. 

The high place held by the ministers in the ranking of married 
strength is in the nature of the life of the minister and the mission- 
ary going abroad at an early age. Doubtless, with the newspaper 
men, the fact that they are among the best paid class during the 
first three years out of college, may have something to do with the 
high proportion of married men shown. 

It is to be expected that the professions should show fairly low 
percentages of married men, with the two or three years required of 

243 



their men before any earning capacity can be exercised. It may be 
noted that the lawyers, engineers and medical men are grouped 
around the neighborhood of 30 or 35 per cent, in the table of 
married men. It is a noticeable fact, however, that the lawyers, 
engineers, and medical men are now figuring most predominately in 
the announcements and wedding invitations daily received at the 
Class offices.

INCOME STATISTICS 

Tabulating the Records 

When the circular to the Class for this Class Record was sent 
out late in 191 1, it contained a special blank to be filled out anony- 
mously asking among other things individual income for the fifth 
year. It was the first of the kind, so far as known, that any 
Princeton class had sent out for this data. One result of its being 
a pioneer was that it was incomplete. It sought information on 
incomes only for one year, the fifth. This fact of its incomplete- 
ness was immediately recognized after its despatch, especially shortly 
after when the New York papers published very prominently a 
misquotation from President Hibben which placed the weekly earning 
power of a Princeton man in his first year out of college at $6. 
It was immediately determined to find out the facts. A second 
circular was sent out. It requested a statement of income for the 
first year out of college in which men began work, for the income 
two years after, and for the income during the fifth year. This 
circular again is not as complete as we would have had it and for 
the next record issued, income data will be asked covering specifi- 
cally each year that the Class has been out.

The results published in the following tables, however, are 
very gratifying and though not as complete or uniform for each 
year as regards the number of men answering, are reliable aver- 
ages and indications of the Class earning power. 

It will be noted in Table No. i, that 271 men answered 
for the fifth year, against a much less number for any other year. 
This is due to the fact that 83 of the first circulars in which re- 
turns for the fifth year only were given, were added to the 188 re- 
plies to the second circulars which brought returns for three years. 
In using these 83, duplications were impossible through the fact 
that men answering the second circular indicated whether they had 
answered the first and all who answered twice were paired off. As 
the result of adding in these 83 replies, the income for the fifth 
year for the class is lower than it would have been without them, 
being $2,225 ^s compared with $2,485, that it would have been. 
This is partly due to the fact that the returns on these 83 replies 
were not specific income figures for the fifth year. Men noted 
their income according to groups as, under $1,000, between $1,000 
and $2,000, etc. Almost the minimum figures given were those 
used in making up the tables that are given. 

In examining the tables, most plainly apparent in Table No. i, 
it will be noted that the most representative years because of the 
number of men answering, are the first, third and fifth. Of the 
271 men shown in the fifth year, it must be remembered that 83 
answered only for that year. Of the remaining 188 who answered 
the three year circular, only 123 men worked during the first year, 
professional schools, travel or other causes keeping the remaining 
65 from earning capacity. The men who answered for the second 
and fourth years were chiefly those who had started to work in 
the year after graduation. 

In analyzing the tables, it is to be remembered that all the circu- 
lars were answered anonymously and confidentially. The incomes 
stated were those solely from a man's own efforts. The returns 
asked for were to exclude all income from allowance or inheri- 
tance. Only those years in which men earned income were in- 
cluded, that is — men in professional schools or men travelling 
were of course not included in the number of men used for the 
averages. There were of course a number of men who were earn- 
ing money on the side while in professional schools and these were 

246 



included. The inclusion of the incomes earned in this way, which 
were necessarily less than the real earning power of the men, is 
one of a number of indications that in the next five year period, 
the earnings should be increasingly great. The average age of 
the class at graduation was 22 years, 7 months and 18 days. 

We are enabled to give the comparisons in the income tables 
through the kindness of Walter E. Hope, secretary of the Class 
of 1901, Princeton, who collected the records for the 1901 Tenth 
Year Book, which appeared in the early part of the year. We 
thank Mr. Hope and congratulate him on the records of the 
Class of 1901. 

The following table, No.^2, gives a summary of the incomes of 
the Classes 1901, 1906, Princeton and 1906, Yale:

Not $6 Weekly But $16.53 

Instead of $6 a week for the first year out of college, the aver- 
age of the class was $16.53 o^" $859.60 a year. This is on returns 
from 35 per cent of the Class roll of 352. This yearly income for 
the first year steadily increased to one of $43.17 a week or $2,225.80 
annually, for the fifth year, for yy per cent of the Class enrolment. 

These figures compare with $13.62 a week or $706.44 yearly for 
the first year of the Class of 1901 of Princeton, 40 per cent answer- 
ing, and $14.25 a week or $740.14 annually for Yale 1906, 64 per 
cent answering. In the fifth year, the comparison is with $39.22 
weekly or $2,039.42 annually for Princeton 1901, 50 per cent an- 
swering, and $36.25 a week or $1,885.31 annually for Yale 1906, 
64 per cent answering. 

The greenling college graduate is thus after all not so useless a

figure as he has been deemed in his first year out of college, and 
his earnings as shown by the records of the three classes given are 
of decently respectable size even in a scoffing world of cynicism. 
It seems fairly reasonable that the average high school graduate 
who immediately goes to work takes two years before he passes the 
$15 a week mark. The college graduate has cut away at the first 
clip half the handicap of four years he carries. 

As will be seen by Table 3, the first year yielded considerable 
more than the usual average $16 a week to several groups of oc- 
cupations. The men who struck out for themselves in soliciting or 
commission work are in the class of higher earnings, such as the 
insurance men with an average return of $1,650 for the first year. 
The manufacturers also earned much bigger returns than the aver- 
age for the Class, with a first year average income of $1,277.83. 
No doubt a good number of men who earned $ipoo or better in 
the first year had stepped into remunerative places semi-officially 
"awaiting them from relatives or friends but the fact is, even here, 
that not only did they hold these places but gained a steadily in- 
creasing revenue from year to year. The highest yearly return 
by any one man in the first year was that of $6,000 gained by a 

A study of Table 3, giving incomes arranged by occupations, 
shows that there are four fairly well defined groups of occupa- 
tions according to their positions in the scale of earnings. Aside 
from the miners who head the list with a yearly return of $4,400, 
but who hardly afiford a reliable basis for average because of the 
few answering, the insurance men as well as those who combined 
real estate and insurance, lead the list of the larger groups answer- 
ing, with earnings of $3,650 each. The brokers are not far behind 
with $3,520, while the manufacturers and advertisers follow in 
the near neighborhood in the order named. All of these are prac- 
tically $3,000 men or above. 

The group next succeeding shows earning power that is more 
moderate in size and has been of more gradual though solid 
growth. These are the business men, the bankers and the expert 
accountants, all of a kindred character, and in the income neigh- 
borhood of $2,000 to $2,500 a year. The business men earn $2,452 
a year, the bankers $2,220 and the accountants $2,050. Their 
growth though more gradual than the former groups appears to 



250 



be swinging into a more powerful stride at the five year mark for 
greater increases in the next five year period. 

The third group contains the first of the professional men, the 
lawyers and engineers, with between them the semi-professional 
men, the journalists and the men of the army and navy, all very 
close to $2,000 a year. 

In the fourth group are found the professions that are unre- 
munerative, so far as a pronounced increasing return is shown, 
as well as those that are just beginning to earn dividends on the 
investment of post-collegiate study. These are the incomes ranging 
around $1,500 and less. Among these are the teachers, the minis- 
ters, and, temporarily, the doctors. The doctors are just beginning 
to earn anything at all after practically six years of study. But soon 
they will be found well up in the other groups. The architects 
will follow them upward as also the publishers, while taking their 
place in the groups of almost stationary return will come down the 
journalists, with the army and navy men probably not keeping up 
the pace of marked increase of the other groups. The farmers 
of the Class are few and their farms are just in the making. With 
succeeding crops like the bounteous ones of 191 2, they will soon 
be the prosperous automobile-owning, broad acred lords of the 
land that will rank up near the business men of group two. 

The Lean Year, 1906- 1907 

After seeing how the various occupations have ranked themselves 
at the fifth year, it is interesting to observe how they were lined up 
in the first year. At that time, two of the occupations now 
at the very top of the list, the brokers and the advertisers, were 
close to the bottom. The brokers with a yearly return of $540 
were the lowest. The advertisers were earning $665.60. Of other 
highly paid men at the fifth year, the bankers in the first year were 
among the lowest paid, receiving $633, as were also the real estate 
men, who earned $792; the real estate and insurance men, who 
got $850 ; the business men, earning $792. 

Of course in this year and the next two succeeding, the men of 
the professions were studying and were receiving nothing except 
when men did outside work to support themselves. This was 
done by some among the lawyers, who studied and worked in 

251 



offices, the latter giving them an average income of $686. Two of 
the ministers gained on the average $6io a year in self support in 
this first year. The figure of $1,725 as the average earnings of 
the doctors for the first year is misleading and should be disregarded 
as indicative of medical student earning power, as there was one 
man who in this first year out of Princeton, earned $3,000 in some 
work not described. The doctors, except in exceptional cases, 
earned nothing until the fourth year, when most of them began to 
earn the princely living of their board and lodging in a hospital as 
interne, which we have reckoned as about the equivalent of $600. 
One medic plaintively wrote, "Have not yet in all my 28 years, 
earned $.01." Another placed his yearly income in 191 1 at below 
$10. Most of the doctors just began to earn in the fifth year. 

The engineers are exceptions to the rule that the professional 
men do not begin to earn until the fourth year after graduation. 
More than half of our engineers are Princeton C.E. men who began 
to work immediately after leaving Princeton. A number of others 
listed under engineers who had earning capacity in the first year 
out of college, were contractors and builders. Therefore the aver- 
age earnings of the engineers for the first year out of college is 
the goodly return of $885.50. 

Among those who earned moderate sized salaries in the first year 
of leanness were the journalists with $780 a year, while the 
teachers earned a stipend that looked luxurious in $933 a year. 
The five years' run, however, sees these incomes grow probably the 
most slowly, especially the teachers who are earning $1,500 at the 
end of the fifth year. 

The highest returns brought to men in the first year were to the 
miners, with $1,000; the accountants, with $1,085; the manufac- 
turers, with $1,277.83; the insurance men with $1,650; the pub- 
lishers with $1,800, and the farmers with $1,800. Of course, these 
figures are practically the returns of specialists as only in the case 
of the manufacturers are there sufficient answers to indicate a re- 
liable average. It is to be noted, however, that all of these occu-. 
pations are of a kind that should bring good returns immediately. 
The insurance men have their own direct efforts in soliciting that 
count immediately for their own profit and not solely for their 
employers'. The manufacturers and the publishers are likely to 
have good places prepared for them to step into. The accountant 

252 



return indicated is apparently above the normal as expert ac- 
countancy presupposes a long and arduous preparation at low sal- 
ary with the big return to come in a substantial number of years 
after. With the miners, of course, the first year return, if the man 
is prospecting or not working in engineering, is chiefly a matter of 
speculation. Also in farming the degree of the speculative enters 
in during the first few years, until the farmer has his work down 
to a basis of established regularity. There is then in farming and 
ranching apparently a comfortable return to be gained with good 
fortune as to weather and crops, even in the first year. 

While for the class the average first year return was $859.60, it 
will be seen by a glance at the high and low figures of income for 
the first year in Table 6, that this high average is largely due to a 
fairly large number of individuals reporting good sized incomes. 
It is very likely, as a study of the tables shows, that while the 
average for the Class was $859.60, the larger number of men were 
on the $15 a week basis or $780 yearly in this first year. 

How We Advanced 

The most rapid advance from first year to fifth was made by the 
brokers who jumped from $540 the first year to $3,520 the fifth. 
Those who combined real estate and insurance, who went from 
$850 to $3,650 in five years, were almost as speedy, while the 
straight out real estate men were not far behind in their advance 
from $792 to $2,714. The advertisers were rapid advancers in a 
jump from $665 to $2,906. The most spectacular advances 
were those of the occupations that partake of the speculative and 
commission, the brokers, ins'urance men and advertisers. The 
most substantial advances are those indicated in the steady growth 
of the manufacturers, the bankers and the business men, the latter 
increasing from $718 to $2,452. The bankers and brokers, both 
starting low, are separated by over $1,000 in the fifth year. 

The least rapid in advance are the occupations of the teachers, 
the journalists, the army and navy men, the transportation experts, 
and after their three years of study, the ministers, who have stood 
still or according to the figures given for different sets of num- 
bers of men answering have receded in the first three of their 
earning years from $1,475 i^ the third to $1,376 in the fifth. In

most of these occupations, men are looking for reward in other 
than financial returns. 

The lawyers begin to earn principally in the fourth year. Their 
income increases rapidly from $1,376 in the fourth year to $1,994 
in the fifth. It is a presage of what awaits the lawyers in future 
years. 

It will be seen that in law, engineering and business, men who 
attended professional schools are differentiated from those who 
did not. In the two professions, law and engineering, the men who 
did not take the extra time at the graduate professional schools 
are in each case at the fifth year about $100 ahead of the men who 
did. There is hardly enough data in these cases to afford much 
more than an indication, but this is interesting. The professional 
school men have hardly had an opportunity yet to demonstrate 
their capacity, but whether they will outdistance the others in the 
long run or not, it will be interesting to watch. The "non-graduate 
professional school men" among the engineers are largely the C.E. 
men from Princeton. The others are those who added a technical 
school course to their Princeton work. The "non-professional 
school men" among the lawyers are those who got their law 
chiefly in offices. The relation between the professional and the 
non-professional school men among the business men is reversed 
from that in the two professions. The few professional school 
men in business are ahead of the others by over $600. 

In the two tables of comparison of the Classes of 1901 and 1906, 
a study seems to reveal the fact that the chief differences between 
these or any other classes are not in the earnings of the general 
number of men. It is in the earnings of the minority, the com- 
paratively few who are specialists and may enjoy peculiar ad- 
vantages of special opportunities, that the chief differences in the final 
averages lie. These differences seem to be a matter of individuality 
varying rather widely in different classes. Thus, it will be seen 
by a study of Table 4, comparing the two classes by occupations, 
that in those pursuits wherein a large number of answers have 
been received, the results are strikingly even in the two classes. 
The manufacturers of 1906 in the fifth year, earned $3,008, with 
those of 1901 very close in earnings of $2,854. The business men 
are still closer, 1906 showing $2,452 and 1901, $2,344. In law, 
the difference is about the same with the. order reversed, 1901 show- 

2=;6 



ing $2,094 and 1906, $1,994. - Between the engineers of 1906 with 
earnings of $1,877 and those of 1901 with $1,878.18, there is only 
the difference of $1.18. These are the largest groups of both 
classes. Many of the others differ widely. 

Whether the five years' difference between the two classes with 
the accompanying variance in conditions of rates of earnings as 
prevailing in the country at the two periods is responsible for the 
generally higher returns recorded for the younger class, is an in- 
teresting speculation. It can only, of course, be a speculation, but 
there appears to be some indication in the figures that the "high 
cost of living" of recent years is in a measure reflected. For in- 
stance, it will be noticed that the proportion of difference between 
the two classes is constantly decreased with progressing years. A 
glance over the first year returns in Table 4 shows that the first 
year returns for 1906 are decidedly larger than those of 1901 in all 
groups, large and small. This is not so in the large groups in the 
fifth year. It is true of course that the increased cost of living 
must necessarily show first and most prominently in the salaries 
and earnings of small amount. It would therefore seem to be a 
small indication that there has been a boost in the level of salaries 
brought about partly at least by the increased cost of living in the 
five years between 1901 and 1906. 

This reasoning would appear to fall to the ground by a compari- 
son with the returns from the Class of 1906 at Yale, which are not 
far different from those of 190 1. It must be remembered, however, 
that conditions may differ very materially in two universities, es- 
pecially in those special pursuits which have been shown to differ 
so much between classes. Also, the detailed report of the Yale 
returns by occupations is not at hand. 

The fundamental revealed in the income tables is the steady in- 
crease that men in all occupations have made from year to year. 
By the fifth year, there is not an occupation in the list with an 
average below $1,100, with the exception of the special instance 
of farming, in which there is no fair average. The number of 
individuals who have attained to positions of very decided financial 
comfort in the first five years out of college is shown in Table 5, 
as well as in Table 6 in the high level of the uppermost range of 
fifth year incomes. The class may boast that it has produced two 



257 



of those men who Mr. George W. Perkins complains are so rare 
these days, — $10,000 a year men.

HOW THE CLASS CHOSE ITS WORK. 

FACTION 



ITS SATIS- 



In order to find out how many college men definitely plan for 
the work they engage in after college and what proportion leave it 
to be decided after they are graduated, the questions to which the 
following tables, No. 7 and 8, are the answers, were asked. The 
tables are self-explanatory. The following summary of the main 
points indicated in the tables is given. 

Fifty-one per cent of the Class definitely chose their work. After 
getting into the game, however, more than this number, or 68 
per cent have determined to stick to the work they started at. 
However they got into their work, whether by direct choice 
or through arrangement of circumstances, most of the Class, or 85

per cent, find themselves satisfied. Some of this number though 
satisfied feel, however, that other work might be better suited to 
them. Compared with the 85 per cent who are satisfied, 75 per 
cent think that other work might be better fitted for them. 

Men who went into the professions and the semi-professions, 
naturally show a higher percentage of direct choice of their work 
than the general business men, the percentage being 72 as con- 
trasted with 32 for the non-professional. As the logical sequence, 
there is a higher proportion of men in the professions than in the 
non-professional pursuits who intend to make their work their 
careers and who are satisfied in it and find it best suited to them. 

It is curious that the lawyers should show a higher percentage 
of choice than the ministers, the doctors or the teachers. With the 
ministers and the doctors, however, as soon as they have entered 
their professions, they find themselves perfectly satisfied and be- 
come fully determined to make their work their life-career. Not 

261 



all the lawyers, however, find that the law is what they think is 
best suited to them, though 94 per cent of them are satisfied and 
89 per cent determine to make law their life profession. 

The transitory character of journalism is illustrated. The ''jour- 
nalists" (quotation marks because there is no such thing as a 
journalist in the Class, they're all plain newspaper men) are 100 
per cent satisfied in the work, though only 50 per cent chose it. 
No matter how much satisfied, however, 60 per cent of them intend 
to get out of it. 

The engineers, of those in the professions, show the lowest per- 
centage of intention to stay in their work. There is a slight indica- 
tion in the results that some men go in for engineering for its 
attraction as something definite to plan for, but find out later that 
they would be better suited elsewhere. 

Of the business men, the advertising coterie are the most com- 
pletely satisfied after they get into the work, though only one- 
third of those in it are there by choice. Only one-third of the men 
who are in manufacturing, banking and business, chose their work. 
Twice this proportion find themselves satisfied in it, however, after 
they have entered. Of course these lines are of such a general 
character that the largest number of the dissatisfied or partially so 
are found here.

The returns from which this table was compiled were mostly 
written during January and February, 1912. This was long before 
the party conventions in June. At this time, the matter of nominees 
was wholly in the air. The table shows, however, little doubt in 
the minds of the Class. Wilson, Taft and Roosevelt were the only 
three condidates even at this early date. Gov. Wilson's strength 
was 58% of the Class. This increased without doubt through the 
primary campaign and the Baltimore Convention, up to Election Day. 

The climax of choice was Gilbert Brown's. Wearied of the 
clamor of candidates, he prayed for one "deaf, dumb and blind and 
with writer's cramp." 

263 



Party Line-up of the Class 

The wave of Democratic feeling that has moved in the country 
added to the enthusiasm for Woodrow Wilson as a Princeton man, 
is strikingly shown in the new party alignment that is evidenced 
in the Class (Table lo). Normally, the Class is strongly Republi- 
can, with III Republicans to 35 Democrats, out of a total of 217 
answering. Sixty-five per cent of these Republicans, however, or 
71 of them, deserted the ranks for fundamental Democratic princi- 
ples, either Woodrow Wilson or a revenue tariff or both. It must 
be remembered that this census was taken early in the year 19 12, in 
January and February, when the campaign had not yet definitely 
crystallized. The majority of the Class was evidently tired of 
stand-pat politics and Repiiblican rule, even without the campaign.

is the large proportion of independents who are aligned with no 
party, namely 31 per cent. Though doubtless partly a result of the 
loosening of the great party lines that has been going on, this is 
probably a permanent condition. In other words, nearly one-third 
of college men are not sufficiently active in practical politics to 
become members of any party.

The returns showing the activity, perhaps more accurately the 
lack of activity of the Class in politics, are given in Table 11. The 
following conclusions are drawn: 

That during the first five years out of college, the large ma- 
jority of men do nothing in active politics. The income tables and 
the remarks of men show that they are far too busy earning a living 
and also getting married and supporting a family, to do much else. 

265 



As against this, however, it is shown that a goodly proportion of 
the Qass, 73 per cent of those answering circulars, are alive to their 
responsibilities as citizens in so far as they can spare time, and vote 
regularly. Many of those who do not vote regularly hasten to ex- 
plain that it is because they are traveling much or constantly chang- 
ing residence. There are only a very few men who express them- 
selves as not interested in politics or in voting and these are 
refreshingly frank about it. In addition to the regular voters, 
nearly the same number or 68 per cent of those answering circulars 
keep awake to politics sufficiently to know the names of their rep- 
resentatives in the local, state and Federal governments. (As sug- 
gested before, we do not know how many new ''World" almanacs 
were purchased and studied before this question was answered.) 

The proportion of the Class who do engage in politics actively 
to a degree is by no means insignificant. The number of individuals 
who do work of some nature such as canvassing votes, working 
at the polls, doing organizing work, speaking, or holding office in 
the public or party service, is about 75, some of them doing several 
of these things, divided as in Table 11. This is a proportion of 
28 per cent of the Class answering circulars. 

The Wilson campaign did much to bring out considerable political 
activity by the Class. It added three important party positions to 
the Class roll of honor. Pop Seeley rose rapidly to eminence as the 
Woodrow Wilson leader in Oregon from the day he filed the Wilson 
nominating petition for the primaries. He ended up the campaign 
as Acting Democratic National Committeeman for his state. 
Julian Beaty and Shave Vanderbilt were at the same time doing 
things, in New York, Julian as secretary of the Finance Committee 
of the Democratic National Committee and Shave as chairman of 
the organization committee of the Wilson College Men's League. 
But here, we have forgotten something. What of Bud Johnson? 
Has his noted political sagacity gone to seed? Not for a minute. 
These high life national party politicians may keep on, but when 
it comes to real hard-pan politics with the plain citizen, you can 
look to Bud Johnson to make the new red bands on the cigars shine 
on election day. Bud is a plain "ward-heeler" and a district pre- 
cinct committeeman, and in the pure political atmosphere of Mayor 
Shanks of Indianapolis at that. 

266 



The representation of the Class in pubUc Hfe is small, number- 
ing 15. Several of our pubHc men have attained enviable distinction 
in the five short years we have been out. Representative Bill 
Freeman of Pennsylvania — we hope that when this book appears 
we shall be addressing him Congressman Bill — is our most promi- 
nent elected public official. Julian Beaty as the secretary of the 
Borough President of Manhattan, holds one of the responsible 
offices in New York City. Alfred Black in Bellingham, Washing- 
ton, exercises heavy responsibilities as United States Commissioner 
and Deputy Clerk of the United States District Court. The Class 
has also Dr. Howard Beck Reed as Borough Physician and Presi- 
dent of the Health Board of his home town. And we do not 
forget that we have among us one of the lustiest deputy sheriffs 
of one of the most illustrious chief sheriffs New York County has 
ever had, the Hon. Julius Harburger, in the person of the Hon. 
Charley Presbrey. Also among the immortals, number Chief Vamp 
Ted Holden, Member of Madison Hose Company, No. i. 

Our political workers have been moderately active, doing poll 
work at election day, to exceedingly active as with Fred Nason, who 
says that he has done everything on the calendar politically except 
buy votes. The lawyers have been the most active. Elias Sunstein 
has helped expose grafting Pittsburg aldermen and helped send some 
to jail. James Alexander helped his father's candidacy for the 
United States Senate against John Sharp Williams. Jim Davis has 
been attorney for his County Republican Campaign Committee for 
sometime. Most of the men answering on this subject did district 
canvassing for votes and work as election and poll officers. 

Political Doctrine of the Class 

The stand of the Class on the principal political doctrines before 
the country, both new and old, is evident from Tables 12, 13, and 
14. Based on how the men classified themselves according to their 
belief on the new political doctrines of the initiative, referendum, 
the recall of officers and judges and woman suffrage, also on their 
position as to big business and the tariff, one-half of the Class who 
answered (210 men answering) are Middlers, one-third are Con- 
servatives, and one-eighth are Radicals. 

A good majority of those who answered favor the initiative,

referendum and the recall of officers (Table 13). But by stronger 
majorities, the Class is opposed to the recall of judges and to woman 
suffrage. The lawyers were most decisively opposed to the recall 
of judges. 

The approval of woman suffrage on the part of many of the 71 
who favor it was quaHfied. The most frequent qualification was 
that ambiguous one that approved of it "when the women want it." 
Another was a property qualification. Some of the near and newly 
weds displayed careful attempts to conceal long and intense argu- 
ments, resulting in concessions from the male that mollified the fe- 
male of the species and still allowed conscientious males to retain a 
semblance of their principles. BeHef in suffrage, ''to a limited de- 
gree," had this ring. Belief in it, ''everywhere except in the South," 
sounded as if a sure enough romance must be back of it. 

The scoffers at woman suffrage exploded in sentiments and ex- 
clamations points like this, answering as to their belief : 

269 



'*No ! ! I'm a married man." 

"No! ! My sister's a suffragette." 

"No ! ! We have it here." 

To remedy the evils of "big business," there were abundant direc- 
tions for government supervision, many of them grandly indefinite. 
"To see fair play for all" was one of this kind, while others urged 
the definite programme of "seeing that the law is conformed with," 
or "reasonable government supervision." There were few who. 
would let the corporations have free swing. Some wanted "gentle 
but firm" regulation, and there were degrees of regulation all the 
way up from this to Ewing Rafferty's supervision "to beat Hell." 
The most popular concrete ideas on big business control were those 
for voluntry Federal incorporation, with government supervision of 
security issuing, full publicity, and supervision through commission 
such as the Interstate Commerce Commission. 

A revenue tariff was favored by "^2 per cent of those answering. 

It would be a difftcult job for any president to harmonize all the 
beliefs that were conglomerately expressed on some circulars. A 
few men wanted everything done to the corporations that there was 
on the circular, unlimited competition, likewise unrestricted combina- 
tion, and government supervision, all in the same breath. There 
were Republicans, many, of course, who wanted a revenue tariff, 
the recall, and Woodrow Wilson, and yet called themselves Con- 
servatives. Of course the "conservative" in the deep West, with 
a belief in everyhing new on the list, was practically an anarchist 
in Massachusetts. On the whole, the political belief of the Class 
seemed to be undergoing process of change, with considerable 
emphasis on the new ideas. 



270 



INTELLECTUAL WORK 

Briefly stated, 26 per cent of the Class who answered circulars 
have second degrees ; 35 per cent did graduate or professional study ; 
43 per cent have pursued a definite course of special study along 
the lines of their own occupations ; 24 per cent have done special 
study outside of their occupations, and not connected with these; 
and 70 per cent have done fairly consistent reading since graduation. 

In other words, over one-half the Class has done consistent special 
study since graduation, — 35 per cent in graduate or professional 
schools, and 24 per cent in study outside of their occupations. Al- 
most three-quarters of the Class are readers. 

The tabulated statistics are found in Tables 15, 16, 17. The com- 
parative intellectual activity of the different occupations (Table 16) 
is an interesting study. The large proportion of the Class, almost 
half, who have taken up special work in their occupations, affords 
some indication that four years of a general academic course are 
neither regarded as the crowning point in education nor unfit for 
special work. In the professions, nearly two-thirds of the engineers 
are studying along special lines. Practically half the la^\^ers and 
half the ministers are doing likewise. In the non-professions, prac- 
tically half the business men, the advertisers, the manufacturers and 
the publishers, are specializing in their study of their work. 

The number of men doing special study along lines not connected 
with their work, of course, is less. The teachers naturally show 
the highest percentage here (50 per cent). The ministers, lawyers, 
publishers, are also expected to be men of learning in departments 
outside their professions, and they follow the teachers in ranking 
percentage, namely 33 per cent. One hardly expects the real estate 
experts to be as industrious students as these others but they are, 
and the close connection of their work with outside subjects, as law, 
is particularly responsible. The doctors, the manufacturers, the 
bankers and business men, are each about one-quarter occupied in 
outside study. 

As for reading, our publishers are 100 per cent well read, with the 
lawyers not far behind. The small amount of recorded intellectual

work for the journalists, indicated in Table i6, is not hard to ex- 
plain. They are such a busy lot, making daily stuff for others to 
read that their lack of time prevents them from reading or studying 
along specific Hnes themselves. They have not yet reached the place 
where, as editors, they may have time to call their minds and literary 
tastes their own. 

Fiction ranks as the most popular subject for 1906 reading, with 
history, economics, sociology, politics, philosophy, science, biography, 
finance, and military science, following in order (Table 17). Poetry 
has a small place in the Class' reading. The amount of reading 
done in each of the ''Miscellaneous" subjects named is scattered. 
The majority of the men have done either much reading or a fair 
amount. Two men, an engineer and a manufacturer, are devoting 
themselves to Dr. Eliot's "Five Foot Shelf" against the charge that 
men in their pursuits are "uneducated". 

Among those doing graduate or professional work, several took up 
law who afterward went into different occupations. There are two 
manufactures who studied law, one publisher, one business man, 
three real estate and insurance men, one engineer. The graduate 
work shows several interesting subjects of study aside from the main 
conventional lines. Tom Preston has become one of the authorities 
of the country in archaeology. Other graduate scholars are George 
Cresse in mathematics, Henry Fish in music, Mac McKimmie in 
phonetics, Charlie Robert in mental science, Emanuel Kallina in 
the Bohemian language. 

Some of the interesting or unusual subjects of special study in 
the occupations were: 

"Electrical Refining of Steel", Dan Eagan. 

"Comparative Costs of Manufacturing Wool in England and 
America", Jack Munn. 

"The Examination and Training of Defective Children and Clini- 
cal Psychology", Charlie Rebert. 

"Railroad Studies", Harry BHss. 

"Evaporation by the Multiple System", Sterling Morton. 

"Evaporation Under Vacuum", Clarence Hardy. 

"Grain Statistics", Doug Laird.

Almost two-thirds of the Class of those answering engage in sport. 

Practically one-fifth of the Class of those answering are members 
of athletic teams or organizations. 

Of those occupations wherein are large numbers, the lawyers are 
the most active both in organized athletics and in general sport. 
The publishers and teachers also keep busy in sport. The doctors 
and the journalists are least active. The journalists do practically 
nothing. 

Tennis is the most popular sport, with golf and riding next. The 
majority of the men who go in for sport, do it in moderation. 

Among the athletes of the Class when in college who continue 
moderately active in team sports are Sam Reid who plays baseball 

278 



with the Crescent Athletic team, Jack Munn who besides assisting in 
coaching the football team has done a good deal of rowing, Phil 
Brasher who helps coach football, Ewing Rafferty who is a member 
of the Pittsburgh Athletic Club and does some football refereeing. 
Herb Byram has played considerable baseball. Hinman Bird is the 
squash champ around New York. Amos Hoagland is physical direc- 
tor in Peking. John Eisele has transferred his affections from long 
distance trotting to light brigade charging with the Essex Troop 
of Newark. We have a number of other dragoons, among them 
Sam Reid in Squadron C, Brooklyn, Jack Munn inTroop B, Massa- 
chusetts, Hinman Bird, Shave Vanderbilt, Pat DeVinne in Squadron 
A, New York, George McCreary in the First Troop, Philadelphia. 

The testimony as to the beneficial after-effects of college athletics 
is overwhelmingly strong. Out of 42 men answering who were 
active in organized sports in college, only five felt any bad effects. 
Of the five, Frank Hoen is bothered by a bad knee he got in scrub 
football. Otherwise, he feels nothing but good effects. James 
Alexander, who was not in team sports at college, writes that he has 
lost weight from too much exercise. The three most pro- 
nounced cases of injurious effects are those of Phil Brasher, Ralph 
Bard and Walter Brunswick, — Phil's football injuries having caused 
him trouble until recently, Ralph writing that lungs and heart were 
probably somewhat overdeveloped, and Walter noting very bad 
effects from too much swimming, mentioning typhoid as one. 

From the testimony of the other 37 in high praise of college ath- 
letics, we quote the following: 

Jack Munn : "Very good effects. The personal contact with foot- 
ball men all over the country has been of benefit." 

Sam Reid: "Good effects. The training at college led to good 
habits in exercise and in manner of living. They were the founda- 
tion of health." 

Herb Byram: "A benefit both mentally and physically." 

Francis Brooke: "From football, — much greater activity, en- 
ergy, endurance and strength. Also a training in thinking quickly." 

Lit Kirkpatrick: "Good effects from football. The ability, when 
necessary, to call upon the strength developed through athletics." 

John Eisele : "Good effects from running. Developed body." 

Bill Hay: "Good results from gymnasium work. Recognize 
reserve energy and recuperative quality."

ball.) 
Jimmie Jackson: ''Best effects. From swimming." 
Clarence Hardy: "Work with football squad helpful physically 
and mentally." 

Williard Cutler: "General good health from football." 
Among the serious illnesses the Class has suffered have been the 
usual ones — typhoid, appendicitis, and nervous breakdown, in suffi- 
cient numbers to estabUsh a respectable standing, likewise one case 
frankly diagnosed "strangulation of the pocketbook" and many 
others like it but not thus openly acknowledged.

RELIGIOUS 

Two-thirds of the Class who answered circulars are members of 
the church or a religious body. 

Only one-fifth of the number of the Class answering circulars, 
however, are active in religious work. 

A sHghtly larger proportion than this is interested in boys' work, 
sociological and settlement work. 

About one-eighth of the Class is interested in foreign mission 
work. 

Our active churchmen comprise several vestrymen, trustees and

some deacons. We have two Sunday School superintendents and a 
number of teachers. A modest number are enjoying themselves 
trying to teach boys in settlements and clubs, how to box or vote or 
perform other functions of a good citizen. 

The most interest in religious and philanthropic work outside the 
Church is shown by men in work with boys. The Big Brothers, 
the Boy Scouts, Y. M. C. A. Boys' Clubs and boys' camps attract 
most of the men who have gone in for work along general uplift 
lines. There is a decided interest manifest in the Class in this kind 
of effort. 

The attitude of the Class toward foreign mission work is one of 
general unconcern. This work has a few very strong enemies. Its 
defenders, though not numerous, outnumber its opponents and are 
just as vehement. 



284 



TRAVEL 

(Tables 22, 23, 24) 

Forty-six per cent of the Class answering circulars have traveled 
in countries outside of Canada and the United States. Eighty-eight 
men, one-third of the Class who answered, have been travelers in 
Europe. The business men, manufacturers, lawyers and ministers 
have been the greatest travelers outside the United States. 

Within the United States, the largest number of men have traveled 
in from 10 to 20 states, as compared wth the numbers who have 
traveled in groups of ten states, beginning with the group from i 
to 10. 

A majority of the class who answered this question — 56 per cent 
or 129 out of 229 — have traveled in from 10 to 30 states. 

Two men said they had been in only one state, but this they must 
have dreamed for everybody in the Class has been to New York at 
least once in his life. Three men have been in every state. 

The Class has footed it as follows through the states : 

27 per cent, have been in from i to 10 states. 

38 per cent, have been in from 11 to 20 states. 

18 per cent, have been in from 21 to 30 states. 

17 per cent, have been in from 31 to 48 states. 

To sum up, more than one-third of the Class has seen half or 
more of their own country and considerable of foreign parts. 

Perhaps the two best bets as travelers in the Class are Doc 
Mixsell and Walter Odell. Look up their records. They have 
gone some in meandering upon this planet.

DRINKING AND SMOKING 

The answers to these questions were anonymous. 

The determination to pubHsh statistics on these two subjects 
might have caused some qualms of uneasiness — this being the first 
time figures have been collected as to whether the righteousness 
of the average college class or its depravity, as college critics would 
have it, would prevail. 

The tabulation of the returns from 235 men in Tables 25 and 26 
does not prove that the Class is ready immediately to rise on wings 
of saintly white to regions where golden harps and crowns are the 
only ornaments — if drinking and smoking are humanity's most 
diabolical sins. 

A greatly more acceptable fact is proved — namely, that in a 
crowd of 235 men of live red blood, sound temperance prevails. 

As to drinking, 40 per cent of this number are total abstainers. 
Sixty-two per cent of the number who answered — and this number 
is large enough to be representative of the entire class — are either 
total abstainers or drink so little that their drinking is a formal and 
a slight affair. Thus, practically two-thirds of the class are non- 
drinkers in effect, although 60 per cent, including those who drink 
even to the slightest degree, are formally enumerated as drinking. 
Naturally there is more smoking. But even here, 21 per cent do 
not smoke at all and i per cent additional smoke little or moder- 
ately, a total of 62 per cent of temperate men. 

It is especially worthy of note that college, contrary to the belief 
and desire of the critic fanatics who have pictured it the black hole 
of vice, plays a comparatively small part in the development of either 
drinking or smoking. The majority of the men who do either 
started before entering college. Briefly, as to drinking, 52 per cent 
of those telling when they started, began before college, while only 
33 per cent started in college, and 15 per cent after college. In 
smoking, 54 per cent started before college as contrasted with 37 
per cent that began in college and 9 per cent later. 

In the tables, the occupations are ranked in the order of the 
percentage of drinking and of smoking done.

How terrible must be the morals of the brokers and advertising 
men, to say nothing of the insurance and newspaper men, publishers 
and real estate men, who head the Hsts of the sinning, — we. leave 
them to contemplate ! 

The ministers, we are pleased to report, bring up the last of 
each column, safely enough. But how about the wicked three who — 
must we say it — drink? And also the unvirtuous four who smoke? 
Is not Gideon to be cleansed of these erring ones? 

Let us explain what 'Very little", "little", "moderate" and "much" 
mean as to the degree of drinking and smoking in Tables 25 and 26. 
It may at least help out the above several ministerial. 

"Very little" in drinking means "possibly three times a year", 
"only at dinners and banquets", "very occasionally". 

"Little" represents "a bottle of ale or a glass of wine about once a 
month", "a sip at meals", "occasionally". 

The "moderate" men in drinking did not specify in many cases 
but seemed to be a truthful lot and anxious to show it. One 
moderate man appeared to think that he and his fellow confessors 
might be accused of concealing. "Moderately and consistently, and 
this is the truth" he wrote of his drinking. "Average" "one glass a 
week", "one a day", "half dozen a month" are samples of a number 
of answers classified under moderate. One moderate man gave a 
touching picture of youthful struggle in the confession that he had 
been "much thrilled by bubbles at the age of six." 

You may ask about the three self-confessed heavy tragedy players 
in the column headed "much" in Table 24. These friends of 
truthfulness, we must admit, did not confess right out, if at all. 

One averred with a show of fight that the degree of his drinking 
was "as much as I like". We say no more. 

Another avowed that the degree of his drinking was "about 98 
in the shade". So great a heat as this surely requires extensive 
cooling. We could hardly, therefore, keep it out of the "much" 
column. "Too much at times and then sometimes not at all" seemed 
to carry real pathos in it and straightway went to the "much" 
division. 

As for smoking, "two or three cigars a day" was about the average 
standard for the moderate classification, where amount of smoking 
was specified. Most men made their own classification without 



293 



going into details. A number of the men who smoke heavily were 
free to state that they smoked more than they considered good for 
them. 

To sum up regarding smoking, 62 per cent of the 235 men answer- 
ing smoke not at all, or very little or moderately.

THE CLASS AT WORK 

(To be continued!) 
We had planned for this part of the book a series of stories on 
how the Class has behaved in the traces — otherwise, what it is 
doing in the principal lines of work. We regret to have to announce 
that the stories will have to come in serial form. With Sinclair 
Hamilton's refreshing tale of "1906 in The Law" as a starter, further 
milestones of the Class' progress will be continued in our next. 

1906 IN THE LAW 

In these days when it is possible for a man to be a radical at 
twelve o'clock, a progressive at one, a conservative at two, and a 
reactionary at three; when no one knows what he wants but wants 
it more desperately than ever; when a man can change his political 
faith with as much facility as he can his shirt; when it seems likely 
that the Constitution will soon bring high prices at auction as a curio 
of bygone civilization; when, in short, the country is in labor and 
no man knoweth what it may bring forth, it is a relief to turn from 
the hurly-burly of the yellow press to the records of the lives of 
those with whom we spent four glorious years within the walls of 
that sober old college where the Father of the Constitution himself 
once drank in the knowledge which afterwards went into the writing 
of that instrument. And it is a still greater relief to find among the 
lawyers of the class, whose records I have had the privilege of 
perusing, a sanity of viewpoint, an ability to stop, look and listen 
before rushing forward where angels fear to tread, which argues 
Vv'ell for the future of this country. Indeed, so sound are the views 
expressed almost to a man by this portion of the class — and by 
sound the writer of course means that they agree in their essentials 
with his own — that few could read them and not feel convinced that, 
so long as the legal talent of 1906 are above ground, the Ship of 
State can hardly strike any political icebergs, or, if she does, that 
there will be sufficient hands to man the lifeboats and bring the 
passengers to a safe haven. The views of these men, as expressed 
in the returns to the class circular, show conclusively that on the 

295 



one hand, they are not dominated by the special and corporate inter- 
ests and that on the other, they have not been led away by the voice 
of the ''peepul" which is now raging o'er the land. To a man they 
uphold the independence of the judiciary and the safeguards of the 
Constitution. To a man — with a few trifling exceptions, whose 
names shall not be revealed, lest they be exposed to possible public 
opprobrium — they stand for reasonable supervision of corporations 
by the government to prevent monopoly and other kindred evils. 
Yes, it is the lawyers — those who have been called parasites by the 
ignorant who don't know the difference between a law suit and a 
union suit, and robbers by the unthinking who are not aware that it 
is the sins of the client that are visited upon the lawyer even to the 
remotest generation — it is, I repeat, the lawyers of the country who 
are proving themselves to be the backbone of the Ship of State; 
and if you've never before heard of a ship with a backbone, you've 
learned something. 

" To turn, however, from generalities to particular cases, what are 
the lawyers of 1906 doing to show the faith that is in them? The 
law is a profession which requires the greater part of a man's time. 
It is true there is a saying that all lawyers can be divided into two 
parts, those who get business and those who work, but this is an 
epigram which, like many such, only achieves cleverness by neglect- 
ing the truth. There are no real lawyers who do not spend most of 
their time at it. In spite of this fact, however, we find that many 
of the lawyers of the class have succeeded in doing quite a little work 
in politics and in other lines. There is Sunny Sunstein in Pittsburgh, 
for example — Sunny in Pittsburgh, think of it, gentlemen ! — who has 
been working hard to root out the graft in that city. It is a splendid 
task and a good man at it. But if Sunny had wanted to be a real 
hero he would have started to root out Pittsburgh. There is the 
chance of a life time. 

Then there is George Hopkins, that silver tongued orator of the 
tribe of Elks. Many are the political speeches which he has to his 
credit. Nor does politics take up all the time which he does not 
devote to his law office, for he has written lectures and short stories 
and, moreover, has found time, despite all these pursuits, to build up 
a law practice in the city of New York. Indeed I have heard that 
when his waiting clients overflow into William Street, it is a common 
saying in that quarter of the town that there is a run on Hopkins. 

296 



And speaking of outside interests, what of Julian Beaty who 
knows more about the traction question in New York than any other 
man except J. Sargeant Cram. JuHan is right up to his neck in 
New York poHtics, and if you can name an alderman whom he 
doesn't know you are going some. I never see him without suspect- 
ing him of having his pockets full of campaign cigars. 

Mac Pyle is another legal luminary who has indulged to some 
extent in politics, serving for a while on an assembly district com- 
mittee in New York. But, as he puts it, he was compelled to give it 
up owing to too much cigar smoke at the meetings. It is not known, 
however, whether it was the objectionable quality of the committee's 
cigars or of those which he smoked that led to this unfortunate 
result. 

As for Logan MacCoy and his political activities as a member of 
the Republican Reform Party, volumes could no doubt be written, 
had I only the facts at my command. Reforming the Republican 
party in Pennsylvania is not half as easy as it sounds. Indeed hath 
it not been written — the Penrose is mightier than the Big Stick, a 
saying which, despite the jolt it got at the Pennsylvania primaries, 
received its vindication at the Chicago convention. 

And then there is a Doug Pierce who recently ran for committee- 
man of a precinct in Indianapolis. Doug and his opponent received the 
same number of votes, and, according to the latest reports at this 
Vv^riting, there was talk of a compromise appointee. Undoubtedly 
Doug is not versed in up-to-date politics, or, amid cries of fraud, he 
would have led a bolt, and formed a new committee or a new pre- 
cinct of his own. 

But it is not only in political circles that the legal talent of 1906 
has been active. Many and diverse have been their interests. In 
this connection I need only point to one shining example — H. B. 
Walker. He is without question the busiest man in Indiana and 
this is by no means an aspersion on the other Hoosiers in the class. 
Consider the list of his activities printed in the triennial record. 
And in the past three years these have been multiplying and increas- 
ing until the Indiana parent no longer refers his budding offspring to 
the ant or the bee, those exemplars of industry, but instead points 
with pride to H. B. Walker, the peerless leader of Evansville. 

So far I have written only of how the lawyers of 1906 have 
shone in pursuits outside of their calling in life. But their shining 

297 



has not by any means been restricted to such pursuits and within the 
profession itself, they have succeeded in maintaining quite a high 
poHsh even as gold dust produces a shine, let it be hoped that this 
shining has likewise produced gold dust, although I hasten to add 
that no lawyer — and least of all those of 1906 — practises law for the 
sake of vulgar emolument, but rather and solely for the glory of the 
profession. And it cannot be doubted that 1906 has added to this 
glory. 

There is Samuel J. Reid, for example, the speediest ball player of 
his time, who, it is needless to say, is connected with a rapid transit 
company — in fact the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. Since 
Sam joined the legal force of the company, it has become more 
rapid than ever and I understand that it is now possible to cross 
Brooklyn in two days. Moreover, the company is about to invade 
Manhattan and will soon run directly through the heart of the 
Tenderloin. 

- Vip Voorhees, Judge Shipman and Ed Stanley, other New Jersey 
practitioners, are maintaining the dignity of that exclusive bar in a 
manner worthy of the Class of 1906. But, alas, this record would be 
far too long were I to chronicle the doings of each lawyer of the 
class. I cannot stop to tell of the legal activities of Al Maurice who, 
by the way, is now living at Rye, although he admits that he prefers 
Scotch. I must pass by the triumphs of Jack Nash, Ken McEwen, 
Don MacPherson, Fred Ullman, Cole Price, Roger Hinds, Bill Hay, 
Lee Douglas, Bob Brandon, Warren Cunningham, Charlie Baiter 
and many others whose names no doubt will some day be linked with 
those of Marshall and of Story. Moreover their real histories can- 
not now be written for they have yet much to do and to suffer. The 
way of the lawyer is none too easy and the pitfalls into which he 
may fall are many. Verily it is written — the law is a jealous mis- 
tress. May she also prove a kind one.

THE FIFTH REUNION 

In Peking 

Peking was the scene of the birth of the Chinese Quinquennial of 
the Class, during the winter of 1910. Yang Shien Sheng, Mr. 
Foreign Man, and Yung Gwei, Chinese secretary in the Princeton 
in Peking, went hunting bargains in costumes. The dusty, rickety 
shop of old Wang Giang Gwei Dy, Wang the merchant, was the 
base of operations. Old Wang knocked the bowl of his pipe 
against the cloth sole of his winter boot, while a gust of Peking 
wintry wind wrapped the gray shop in a swirl of Gobi Desert dust. 
A fat-bellied, red clay Buddha was whisked off a shelf and broken 
to bits. When three sat in Wang's shop, open front though it was, 
the shop was crowded. 

The first section of the costumes discovered w*as a fine line of 
officials' summer hats, brilliant in red tassels. There were twelve of 
them, just enough to deck out the reunion committee in its proper 
grandeur and they were about to disappear into Wang's winter chest. 

Would he sell? We initiate the Class into the science of 
Chinese buying as practised in no less than 50 separate and distinct 
purchases for the Quinquennial outfit. 

Wang beamed with old school Chinese poHteness. What in the 
name of the Three Princes does this foreigner want with 12 hats 
of an official, said he to himself. Outwardly, not a whit surprised, 
he remembered that these were unusual hats. Had not several of 
them been worn by lofty princes, even before the Lao Fo — Old 
Goddess (the Empress Dowager) herself? 

Well, of course, hats like these came a little high, he allowed. 
They really couldn't be bought under *1iang quai chien", — $2 Mexi- 
can, each. 

"Great heavens, man! Tommy rot!" your buyers exclaim in 
Chinese equivalent. They merely laugh, then go strolling about 
pricing everything else in Wang's ramshackle shop, without even 
a suggestion that hats had ever been mentioned. Suddenly the 
conversation goes back to hats. 

Indeed, says Wang, for the sake alone of the visitors' fine courtesy, 

303 



he is willing at tremendous sacrifice to himself to sell for the low 
price of $1.90. 

"Twenty cents !" shouts Secretary Gwei in counter proposal, "and 
dear at that." Even Wang's highly polished old school politeness 
can't restrain his loud guffaws at the ridiculousness of such an offer. 

But however ridiculous, — 20 cents bid and $1.90 asked — these are 
the prices that begin the deal. The haggling starts. Excitement rises 
with buyer and seller. Gradually, very gradually, prices get closer 
together. At the 30 cents @ $1.00 mark, the customers in hopeless- 
ness swish out of Wang's shop, expecting assuredly to be called 
back immediately with the offer of a lower price. Twice thereafter, 
these heavy bluffing acts are renewed. On the third departure, 
they are seven shops away from Wang's on the Dried Fish Alley, 
when his fat and dirty apprentice boy comes panting after to call 
them back with the very last reduction of price. 
- The prices are now excitedly close. It looks like a sure enough 
bargain. Gwei offers 40 cents a hat. Wang wants 50 cents. A 
few minutes debate and the deal is finally closed at 45 cents (about 
22 cents in American currency) all the way down from $2. You 
expect old Wang immediately to go into bankruptcy. Not a bit of 
it. He is full of smiles. You have probably been stung at that. 
And this enormous deal has consumed one entire morning. 

Modelling the Peerade 

This is the way things were bargained for in costuming the 
Fifth Reunion. It was an effort to have represented at Princeton 
all of the most usual figures that make up the ever changing kaleide- 
scope of a Peking street scene. 

The two most striking spectacles in the dusty streets of the 
Celestial capital are funerals and weddings. A funeral, gorgeous 
and Imperial, was decided on for the Eli Bulldog, as the central 
motif. Costumes were bought accordingly. 

Picture a Peking funeral. Two long lines of green coated totter- 
ing old men and ragamuffin young gamins, transformed by the 
magic of the uniform into honorable standard bearers, precede the 
catafalque. The green and Imperial red funeral uniforms are dotted 
with Chinese characters happily enough wishing the dead "long 
life". The procession carries flags, banners, scrolls and poems of 

304 




The Celestial Washtub 

"Washing Away the Blues' 

Just Pee-rading 



honor to the dead. Also hosts of paper images of servants, horses, 
palaces, wives, and furniture to be burned for the use of the dead 
in the passage to the life beyond. They drone moaning dirges, clang 
cymbols, blow bassoons, rumble drums and pipe shrill horns, and 
all the while continue as mischievous a lot of tattered gamins as a 
bunch of New York newsboys. 

Buddhist priests, shaven heads, in drab and olive flowing sleeves 
and gowns, chant and tinkle the soul of the dead into its resting 
place, with voices as iron clad and lasting as the dead man's pocket- 
book was fat and generous. 

Up into the famous Lama Temple of Peking, went Yung Gwei, 
— the designer and collector of our costumes — to get the costume of 
the most picturesque of all the Peking stage, a Lama priest. A 
clever Chinese tailor under the temple's walls copied the gorgeous 
crimsons, scarlets and oranges of these gaunt old Mongol Lamas, the 
ruffian crew descendants of Ghengis Khan and his Hun and Vandal 
relatives. The towering yellow hat of the Lamas, representing their 
sacred religious mountain, was reproduced along with their coats and 
tunics. 

There comes in the procession the catafalque, whose 128 bearers 
in the funeral of an Empress Dowager, must carry it so steadily as 
never to shake a drop of water out of a glass in it, lest the soui 
of the dead be disturbed. An ancient funeral shop brought from out 
its polished chests, a still more ancient embroidered catafalque 
cover. Its one time supreme gorgeousness had been worn away in 
spots in its services to hundreds of Peking's vanished souls. Our 
bargain hunters got it cheap. 

There are high officials in your Peking street throng, coolies in 
their blue gowns, farmers in broad straw bonnet, Manchu ladies in 
lofty, sail like head-dresses, peddlers clanging their wares, priests 
and holy men. 

And when the whole variegated list of costumes of the fifteen or 
more characters of the Peking street scene represented had been 
sprinkled with disinfectant, passed through the U. S. Consulate, 
through no less than four Chinese customs, narrowly saved from 
shipwreck on the Pacific Mailer Asia which went on the rocks below 
Shanghai, rushed from San Francisco across continent on the special 
silk-train flyer, successfully hauled through the U. S. Customs at 
New York after four days' haggling and Julian Beaty's pull with the 

305 



powers that be, — the motley lot, billed as theatrical property, arrived 
safely in Princeton just the night before Commencement started. 

Yung Gwei. 
To Yung Gwei, Chinese Secretary in the Princeton at Peking, 
who labored for days devoting most of his time to collecting the 
unusual and valuable lot of costumes that adorned 1906 at the Fifth 
Reunion, the Class is indebted for their entire success. The Class 
extends its thanks. 



306 



Opening Day at Princeton 

As soon as Gee Graham had led in prayer, the reunion opened. 
This was at precisely 3.01 p. m., or sooner, on Friday afternoon, 
June 9, 191 1. Al Maurice had appeared and disappeared. All the 
morning, a deep rumbling had been heard from the cellar of Univer- 
sity Hall. The early reunion gatherers, timid souls like Don Mc- 
Pherson, Norris Bokum, Pat Charlock and Bill Hay, had begun to 
get nervous. "Don't worry", spoke out old Counsellor Reid calmly. 
'T know what makes that rumbling noise. It's Roger Hinds and Hop 
Pierson getting local color for their illustrated song, 'Down in the 
Sewer'. They'll soon be up." 

When confidence had been restored, and Judge Vip Voorhees and 
other members of the bench and bar (not distinguishing which) — 
Judge Shipman, Hig Higbie, the eminent Bliss, — had arrived with 
''Mrs. Adriance" and the story of her well-known pearls, everything 
was ready for the opening services. 

But we are ahead of our story. For weeks, our active reunion 
committee had been creating local color for the Great Chinese Festi- 
val, wherein the Dragon and the Tiger were collectively to make 
mince-meat of the Blue Bulldog. The savory invitations to 
the Celestial Festival that had been issuing from the skilful adver- 
tising pen of J. Frederick Cross, Jr., The Persuasive, had the 
best Class appetites whetted for a delicious feast of bird's nest soup 
and century buried eggs in the shape of a reunion that talent could 
invent. 

The embassy headquarters of the Class were entented oa the 
green of the back-yard of 2J University Place, as exclusive as any 
of our best families' country seats and all grown up with real grass 
and apple trees and things to climb. It was exceptionally cozy 
country scenery even if the trees did fail somewhat of their purpose, 
for Al Maurice and other leading athletes positively refused to 
climb them after 11 p. m. This country club setting had captured 
the practical eye of our home seekers, Sam Reid and Bayard Stock- 
ton, months before, and 2'] University Place bids fair to be the 
scene of 1906 conquests for some time to come. 

307 



Bayard Stockton, living in Princeton, had been the Class's good 
angel. Every carpenter, tent raiser, man of all work in town 
showered him with attentions and between Bayard's zeal and Sam's 
continuous little journeys from New York to Princeton, there were 
ready on the morning of Friday, the 9th of June, a good looking 
domicile, neat tent, board floor, strong arm men at the front "lodge" 
of the estate — note the refining English influence of our new Grad- 
uate School — to handle the ever-flattering undergraduate, strong arm 
men within to handle other things, and a green and grassy "Farm", 
spread out all around. 

At University Hall, the Class had two spacious dining rooms, 
Where most of the men ate together through a large part of the 
reunion. It was a welcome and pleasant innovation and so good a 
feature that it is to be improved on in future reunions, so that 
everybody can eat together and in the tent itself if possible, where 
good fellowship and union can be at their height. 

Several of the Sophomore club rooms in University Hall were held 
down by the Class as the hall du costume. Here the Chinese glory 
unpacked itself out of three huge packing boxes of Celestial hue and 
the Class arrayed itself at the psychological moment. 

From 9 a. m. Friday, things began to hum. Pat DeVinne and 
Dutch Luckenbach who seemed to have spent their youthful years 
setting up the canvass brigade of advance circus agents to pink 
lemonade, were putting the last touches on the ropes and interior 
decorations of the tent. Fred Nason down from Winnipeg and 
Bill Oakford had just tied up the big 1906 banner at our threshold 
on University Place. Ed 111 had introduced himself to the Reservoir- 
keeper of the Liquid of Youth. Sam Reid had been over the whole 
plantation on inspection. Shave Vanderbilt handling lodgings in 
President Patton's bailliwick had got Bill Coons to show him where 
the Seminary was and was rapidly stowing away arriving guests 
within the walls of Hodge or other Seminary dormitory. Harry Am- 
brose was oiling the piano and hunting up a tuning fork for his well- 
known dusky colleagues. Westerners blew in soon after and the 
lid was thereupon lifted. Ralph Bard, Norris Bokum, Don McPher- 
son, Phil Connell, Julius Balmer, Bill Hotter, Marsh Coxe, Ken 
Goodman, Si Wiley and Spell Spelletich flashed in all in one breath. 
Don McPherson had that same old devilish air that made him such 
a rakish young student of art of all kinds in 1906. But Bill Hotter 

308 



had become decidedly domesticated and despite his unfaded beauty, 
it is very doubtful if he could have won a dance from a debutante 
strictly on his fussing merits. 

Of course, there was only one question asked after the Chicago- 
St. Paul-Pittsburgh rangers had been welcomed — ''Where's Raf- 
f erty ?" The blame was put on Phil Connell, who squarely admitted 
Ewing's confession that as the college was still without a president, 
he was afraid he might be pitched on for the place if he was seen in 
town unprotected. 

Our lawn soon got all mussed up with delegation after delegation 
that came romping in. The Quakerites, led by Doc Lloyd whistling 
a Chinese two-step, and Walt Righter marshalling the forces, 
tramed in snappily. The Bonney Vise and Tool Works, alias the 
brothers Durham, had piped its whistle for a week's holiday, Fat 
Durham declared in high glee, taking off his coat and rolling up 
his sleeves while carefully noting that the fountain of youth was 
lying in the sou'-eastward corner of the tent. MacCoy wore the 
studied look of a bachelor trying to believe that he was enjoying 
being one. George McCreary restrained himself from causing much 
stir until the next day when he burst forth into a sun rise of 
Chinese lavender "pants" with red and yellow flowers painted there- 
on. Pat Caskey was missed in spite of the abundance of enthusiasm 
he sent by mail. Jim Gilmore and Wood Woodward were in the 
Quaker crowd. 

Tub Matthai, Ennalls Waggaman and Allen Craig were on to 
keep up the Baltimore tradition. Al Glass, Frank Berry, Lee 
Douglas, Helme Strater, Jim Alexander, helped to represent the 
South. Richie breezed in from Qeveland just as gay and debonair 
as he was the day we put on straw hats at the Georgetown game in 
Freshman *year. Brownie Gibson said he hadn't missed a reunion 
and didn't care whether Pittsburgh kept or not while he was in 
Princeton. It was good to see Hookie Fitch in the fold once more 
after his long hermitage in Youngs town. We tuned up the psaltry 
and the harp to rag time speed in the delight of welcoming others 
missed for a long time. Among them were Harry Bates, who had 
recovered wonderfully from his accident, to the delight of all, Bill 
Dykeman, Bill Jones, Ross McKee. Among the travelers. Sunny 
Sunstein was a welcome arrival for he hadn't been seen at a 
reunion before. So were Norman McCutcheon, Carl Stromberg, 

309 



Tommy Thompson, Bill Franklin. It was good to see Lit Kirkpat- 
rick, Ned Larned, Fred Letts. 

Hal Edwards, Jack Munn, and Ban Bannwart, leaders in our 
Boston set, left all culture behind we regret to state and really 
seemed to enjoy reunion atmosphere as if they'd never been at the 
Hub. As soon as Ban heard that 1901 was giving a cup in an Inter- 
reunion athletic meet, he decided to have 1906 win it hands down. 
Immediately donning his running togs, he departed to the green of 
the lawn for training and couldn't be beguiled within the tent 
thereafter. 

The next big event of the day was the announcement received in 
the tent that two Mexican revolutionaries were working their way 
up from the station and were ready to start something in the way 
of peerades or other warlike demonstrations the minute they ar- 
rived. Of course, everybody knew it would turn out to be Les Leslie 
and Cut Cutler. Even so it was. They had been away from excite- 
ment for so long on the journey up from Mexico City that they 
arrived thirsting for real life. Events like this kept right on 
adding themselves to each other all during the day until late in 
the afternoon when there came a big buzz of jollity and the peerade 
spirit got to be almost a passion. 

The New York and vicinity delegations came pouring in by ones, 
twos and threes. Hinman Bird was feeling in his merriest reunion 
spirit which augured ill for the refreshment supply, especially as 
Ollie Perry was also on hand early and had made bold boasts. The 
Newark delegation too was a big and ravenous one, headed by Dago 
Drake and Hig Higbie, with Howard Bartram, John Eisele and 
Howard Sayre in the bunch as well as some of the more quiet 
members like Lit Kirkpatrick, Harry Bliss, Judge Shipman. Wills 
Hazard was on hand early from New York with all* that well 
known boisterous reunion noisiness of his. It was good to see 
Buck Stagg. Granny Burton had left off playing the Hatter for 
the country and had a new role of Chinese Mullah staring him in, 
the face for the pee-rade the next day. Pete Petrie and Dick Pitts 
were welcome arrivals. 

Suddenly, there was a rush by several of the reunion committee 
to throw an extra guard around the defenseless dispenser of cooling 
draughts. Some one had shouted that Bob Gait was on his way 
and was swifter than ever. But as soon as he had arrived the sad 

310 



news was out. He had forsaken the way of his youth and unhappily 
to tell was even then a clergyman in embryo and disguise. There- 
after during the reunion, Bob became so reserved and quiet that he 
was never seen with more than six steins in one hand nor heard in 
song above more than a tentful of reunioners. 

The afternoon and evening were spent in the tent in mutual 
experience testimonies and general get-together parties, with Vip, 
the master reunion spirit, early getting into his stride and setting 
things in merry motion to the height of enjoyment and the forgetting 
of all such affairs as work and worry. 

There were enough lawyers gathered by nightfall to promise 
lively excitement for the long distance cup trial later in the calendar. 
It was good to see among the doctors on hand, Doc Ethan Butler, 
Doc Hegeman, Doc Mick Mixsell and Jack Ormond, medic. Tommy 
Liggett was on from Pittsburgh and Dolly Darlington matched 
Richie Richardson in general gayety. 

The Celestial Spirit Spreads Over the Class 

The atmosphere became so Chinesey on Saturday when the 
sacred Celestial costumes began to declare themselves on the stalwart 
forms of various 1906 reunioners that you cold fairly smell the 
incense burning and hear the temple bells a tinkling. But the poetry 
got no further. The word suddenly went round that Bob Barr, 
Shave Vanderbilt and Lou Froelick were making Celestials out of 
Princetonites as rapidly as they could explain the mysteries of 
getting into Chinese clothes. The transformation was going on in 
the rooms at University Hall. A horde of would-be Mongolians 
poured down upon the three dispensers of make-ups. This is some- 
thing of the lecture and admonition, threat and precept, that the 
three put over which finally resulted in clothing the Class in their 
right Chinese minds and apparel. 

Bob Barr is the lecturer : 

''Catch a pair of those 'pants' over there. They're the start of any 
good costume. No difference whether you put 'em on backwards 
or frontwards, they're the same either end. The blue ones are the 
quiet kind. If you want something a little nobbier, try the red and 
the pale pink. If you want to be a real sport, catch one of those 
with blue roses all over a pink background." 

Bob Doane here made a dash for the "blue roses" pile and drew 

311 



out a purple sunflower effect done on a pea-green field that was 
almost the hit of the pee-rade, especially when topped off with the 
yellow and black tiger skin jacket trimmed with old rose, of the 
light horse guards of Li Hung Chang. 

Bill Oakford who was at this point seen entering a pair of the 
''baby blue" trousers, suddenly disappeared. When it was realized 
that Chinese sizes run big, Gop Gopsill standing near reached down 
into the pair that had swallowed Bill and succeeded in pulling him 
out. It was immediately decided that Bill and Gop would have to 
be the only two Chinese ladies in the pee-rade and Bob Barr went 
on to explain that if one's trousers did appear to be six yards or 
more too big around the waist line, he needn't worry. 

'Just fold the waist line into a flap and wind it around you," 
yelled Bob, "but use plenty of rope to tie them fast where pants 
naturally belong." 

''Those white things aren't mittens or boots, they are socks. Don't 
wear more than one pair and if your shoes — those handsome orange 
effects with black trimmings, — don't fit you, stick to the socks alone. 
Tie your trouser ends around your ankles with these things that 
look like neckties. 

"You tell what you are from the coat. If you want to be a 
funeral man, capture one of those green or red things with yellow 
spots all over it. Take one of those tamo' shanter affairs for a 
hat and stick a red feather in it. Don't mix funeral men wit^ 
priests and princes." 

Peking would have gasped to see the result. But everything was 
gay and brilliant and when the transplanted China throng adjourned 
to the tent and wound itself into funeral order for the burial of 
the Elis, it was the most tremendous spectacle for varied color and 
changing character that Princeton has ever seen. 

For the sake of accurate history, we must record that there were 
other classes in the pee-rade at the field at the Quinquennial, and 
the crowds in the grand stand politely greeted them as they passed by 
— then appeared to forget them. The spell of the Oriental mysticism 
of our Chinese brilliancy was upon them. They awaited us breath- 
lessly. 

The blue roses all over Bob Doane's trousers fairly trembled with 
excitement as he led the pee-rade, waving triumphantly an enormous 
lantern at the crowds. 

312 




Imperial Catafalque of the Bulldog 
High Priest Gee Graham Offering Prayer from 
Sacred Musicians 



Roof 



Then came the hit of the day — the Prince of the Celestials, 
Stewart Arthur Mackenzie, aged 2^ years, the Class boy, in the 
robes of a Manchu Prince and borne in a sedan chair, his father and 
grandfather either side as Chinese scholars, rode commandingly 
before his subjects. We must tell of his faithful chair bearers — the 
stolid Vip with charcoal Oriental moustache drooping blackened 
streaks in the sweat of a Princeton Commencement sun, Ben Cham- 
berlain, Walt Davison and Marsh Coxe — all gradually turning 
green as the sun grew hotter and hotter and the funeral dye of the 
green coats began to melt off on them. 

Our nobles, the reunion committee, then appeared in the embroid- 
ered silks of high Manchu royalties. Sam Reid wore a quiet black, 
with the coral button of the Imperial family in his hat and the 
order of the Blue Crane on his chest. Hinman Bird and Bob Barr 
were all wound round with gold dragons on their coats and had 
something the effect of snake charmers. Hinman wasn't a bit afraid 
of seeing snakes and dragons and things even late at night in the 
tent all through the reunion. Ed 111 wore very becomingly the 
silk blue gown with red roses of a Manchu Princess. 

The sacred musicians — Ralph Bard beating a Chinese drum with 
all the tenderness of a South Sea Island pirate. Bill Jones pouring 
out the deep pathos of his soul into the guffaws of a brass bassoon, 
Pat Charlock equally emotional on the brass cymbals, and Swift 
Tarbell with sacred solemnity tossing bundles of Chinese paper 
funeral money into the air for the use of the departed soul of the 
Elis and burning incense — drew tears of sympathy from the grand 
stand guests, as they played and prayed and performed the sacred 
rites before the bier of the Bulldog over the home plate, while the 
Eli baseball squad on the diamond for preliminary practice withdrew 
deeply affected and in tears. 

The Catafalque, the Bier, the Hearse — whatever you choose to 
call it — was at hand. 

Poems of honor preceded it, carrying this song of praise : 

''The Shade of the Bull-Dog lies Herein. 
He will ascend upon the Dragon to the 
Realms on High — Very High — in the 
Seventh Inning. Let us Bury the 
Bull-Dog." 

313 



There was only one hitch in the nicety of burial arrangements and 
this was probably the reason why the Shade of the Bull-Dog got away 
temporarily that day and was not effectually buried until the fol- 
lowing week at New York. This hitch was that the funeral bearers 
went on strike when they felt the weight of the animal's burial 
apparatus. A low down vegetable wagon had to be seized to roll 
the old funeral car around the field. Norris Bokum, marshal of the 
immediate funeral party and boss of the 25 pall bearers who were 
rapidly turning green and red as their costumes melted off on their 
skin, acted with consummate skill and religious devotion in the 
crisis. He sent the High Priest, Geoff Graham, aloft to the pinnacle 
of the Catafalque with one of the Sacred Flags to pray for the 
successful flight Heavenward of the Eli's soul. Thereafter the 
Catafalque moved slowly and successfully round the field. 

The Dalai Lama, disguised as Mullah Burton, and a crew of 
Buddhist and Taoist priests among them Pop Eppley, Ken Goodman, 
Ted Holden, Fred Nason and Frank Berry, added their paeans of 
praise and brass tinkle, shouting 

''Confusion to the Elis 
Confucius to the Rescue", 

while Helme Strater flew the Sacred Dragon Kite, squirming its 
ten yards length, aloft over home plate invoking* the sacred auguries. 
Pop Eppley with his usual literary touch framed a sentiment that 
preceded the priests 

"The Only Yellow Peril— JAUNDICE !" 

After the grandeur of the funeral proper, we got down to common 
Hfe arid one of its earliest necessities — the laundry. Sandy Ether- 
ington had visited all the best known Chinese establishments in upper 
Manhattan and his study of approved methods of the washtub for 
the two months previous to the Great Dragon Festival at Princeton 
had filled him with real local color. 

Washtub, wringer, clothesline. Ah Wang Sandy and Ching Fu 
Jack Munn were all mounted becomingly on a car drawn by ten 
husky coolies. The clothesline was a mass of blue sweaters, adorned 
with those big white "Y's" that have been seen frequently in 
Princeton at Commencement time. Carnegie Lake water filled the 
washtub. As the laundry car approached the grand stand, by this 

314 



time on tip toe for more of the wonderful 1906 spectacle, the two 
eminent gentlemen of the laundry began to scrub, wash and wring, 
with the zeal of a cyclone. 
Their shingle: 

*'Class Laundry 
Where the Y's (Wise) are washed 

We wash away the Blues, 
Note the effect of our system on the Eli uniform." 

Down from the line came a big blue sweater, with its usual 
decoration. Into the washtub it went with a vim. Ah Wang and 
Ching Fu scrubbed and rubbed. Out through the wringer came the 
big sweater. And the two Celestials burst into triumphant grins as 
they waved aloft at the amazed grand stand the triumph of their 
labors. 

The Blue and Y had been completely washed away and in their 
place there rested supremely the orange and black of a good old 
fashioned Princeton sweater. 

Several of the queues of the faithful coolies drawing the magic 
laundry were seen to stand upright in wonder, while from the 
stands came roars of applause. After washing and re washing 
innumerable times, the two magic laundrymen were carried 
exhausted from their seat of honor and triumph to rest and con- 
template on the mighty deeds of their ancestors. We hand down 
for future generations the names of some of the mighty coolies who 
led this Magic Laundry round Princeton, no less personages than 
Warren Cunningham, Harold Richard, Al Maurice, Doc Lloyd, Bill 
Franklin, Doc Hegeman, led by the redoubtable Ray Howe bearing 
the proclamation 'The Celestial Gold Dust Twins." 

The Dragon Festival did not forget a suffragette or two. Gop 
Gopsill, the only imported Manchu lady, towering skyward on the 
stilt soles of a Manchu lady's shoes and topped with a head dress 
as broad and lofty as the Heavens, led by the hand the demure 
young lassy of pure Chinese blood. Bill Oakford, in the grand 
march. Henry Fish as Confucius and his old time scholars in 
truly snappy tortoise rimmed spectacles like regular Nassau Lit 
contributors, were present. When the whole host of jolly cooHes, 
not forgetting Eugene Leslie in the startling character of an Iron 
Capped Duke's bannerman from waist up and doing the part of a 

315 



funeral bearer from waist line down, had assembled at the home 
plate for the burisil ceremonies, and the incense had curled itself in 
a thin wavering string toward Heaven, there was a loud shout. 

"The Prince ! Ten thousand years to the Prince !" 

The Imperial Sedan Chair hurried to the Home Plate. The 
four coolie bearers elbowed the common crowd out the way, the 
coolies, princes, laundrymen^ priests. Lamas, funeral bearers made 
way for the Prince's chair. 

As the high princes of the Imperial Clan knelt on the ground and 
kow-towed to the earth, the tiny Stewart Mackenzie, Class Boy, 
advanced majestically to the field. Chuckling to himself while 
the gay stands applauded mightily, he remarked to those nearby 
'This is so simple." With an Imperial wave, he flung the baseball 
on to the diamond with the inalienable right of a Fifth year Class 
Boy. 

The Elis and the Tigers then got busy. The grand stand having 
witnessed the Great Show of the celebration was of course politely 
wilHng to remain for a pleasant afternoon's sport. 

Long Distance Cup Trial 

Vip Voorhees was in command of the tent that night. 

Sufficiency! The degree of joy that established needs no further 
comment. Of course there was song and sweet music. The story 
in song of Mrs. Adriance and her exciting deeds was now and then 
heard. A story from Old England here and again came across the 
boards from the dais chair of Chairman Voorhees and his mighty 
assistants in mirth. The choiristers, Hinds and Pierson, yodeled 
their melodies. Al Maurice now and then made a few remarks. 

When the right pitch of enthusiasm and judiciousness had been 
reached, the trial was started. 

"Mr. Fat Durham!" Judge Voorhees was rapping for order. 
"You will act as bailiff of this court." 

Mr. Fat Durham thereafter assiduously plied his profession and 
never left off supplying liquid intelligence to the jury. 

"Previous causes remanded", announced the court with a bland 
smile. "Ex-parte cases will now be brought up. Bring the court 
one drink." 

The jury was speedily empanelled by Mr. Bailiff Fat Durham 

316 



whose careful liquid attention drew many of our best known tee- 
totalers into the jury box, among them Hinman Bird, Harry Bliss, 
Ed 111, Hig Higbie, Shave Vanderbilt. Granny Burton claimed the 
foreman's job and got it. And the rest of the jury were Pat 
DeVinne, El Cline, Tom Preston, Harry Ambrose, Fred Letts and 
Ethan Butler. 

Let it be known that the contestants for this cup before the jury 
were Gene Leslie from Mexico City, Marsh Coxe from St. Paul, 
Cut Cutler from Mexico, Bill Motter from St. Paul and Lou 
Froelick from Peking, to all of whom various and motley counsel, 
speaking as to their state of enthusiasm, had immediately attached 
themselves. 

Roger Hinds of counsel for nobody in particular opened the case 
by moving that as the trial judge lived in New Brunswick, the case 
was prejudiced and the judge should be recalled. 

Mr. Donald McPherson, counsel for the celebrated traveler Coxe, 
challenged the jurors Bird and Bliss as being unduly under the 
influence of the bailiff's amber art. 

Counsel Al Maurice, appearing for the traveler Leslie, having 
been awakened from deep slumber, objected in loud tone that *'the 
jury is bibulous. Throw them out." 

''Quiescent quietude, gentlemen. Quiescent quietude," the court 
mvokes in anxious tones, while meantime, tKe lusty Bailiff Fat 
Durham has dropped off into deep repose to the neglect of the 
jury. 

Judge Shipman, attorney for the Mongolian traveler, has objected 
to the jury attentions of the bailiff. ''This constable, your honor, 
is—" 

"As an attorney of record of this Court, Mr. Shipman, do you 
not know that the bailiff of the jury is not called the constable?" 
thundered the court. "Messrs. Jurymen, I would instruct you that 
the bailiff is supposed to tend to the cardinal wants of the jury. 
Having failed in this, Mr. Fat Durham, the said baiHff, is herewith, 
hereof, and heretofore removed and in his place Mr. Norman Char- 
lock is herewith, hereby and hereof granted a hotel license and 
instructed to attend the cardinal wants, which he so well understands. 
The bailiff is ordered to find twelve invincible peers of the realm." 
"Salaam," cries the bailiff and forthwith disappears under an 
adjoining table. 

317 



"There's an Irishman on the Jury!" It is the voice of Counsellor 
Hinds calling. "Throw him out." Everyone is excited to find out 
who it may be, when they pull out Pat DeVinne from a rear seat 
and set him in the limelight. Other attorneys thunder objections to 
other peerless jurymen and out of the general babel comes a refusal 
to disqualify Pat DeVinne because of his nationality on the further 
reason that "the well known dissolute rake, Bird Cage, is on this 
jury of invincible peers." 

"Objection is not sustained," rules the court with decision and 
vehemence, "on the ground that it would tend to incriminate the 
Court. Further, by the fourteenth amendment, the Court cannot 
deprive a citizen of life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness or the 
bowl. The well known Hinman Bird will stand as juryman number 
two." 

Attorneys are here about to become discouraged because of the 
host of jury incompetents, when it is suddenly discovered that 
Al Maurice had changed his character from attorney and is posing 
in the disguise of a juryman. The attack centres on him. "Away 
with him," comes the cry. 

His defense moved him to song and in a wierd effort that had 
reminiscences of thousands of cats in action, he made good and was 
permitted to stay in order to quiet down and restore peace in 
Court. 

The attack of the united attorneys here settled directly on the 
Court itself. 

"In the words of Mr. Woodrun Wilson," proclaimed the eminent 
McPherson, "I demand the recall of all the judges in this court." 

The court, however ruled that mental intoxication is no disquali- 
fication and refused to be recalled. But feeling that trouble was 
brewing, the Court was about to beat it for the rear, when Attorney 
Shipman discovered that a new juror had injected himself into the 
jury box. It was the well known clergyman. Gait. 

"I object to the newest juror," declares counsel. "I understand 
that he is about to enter the ministry." 

"Incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial," shouts the court. "The 
ministers must have sanctuary. Mr. Bailiff, give the new juror some 
sanctuary." Whereupon Bailiff Charlock administered relief to 
the fainting Gait. 

318 



The court by this time had been surrounded and swallowed up in 
a maelstrom of onrushing claimants for the Long Distance Gup. 
"The trial is dissipated with the cup that cheers," he exclaims in 
final judicial utterance and bench and bar once more surge together 
and the assembly is moved to song. 

When order had been restored the next day, the Cup was unani- 
mously awarded to Eugene Leslie, who had traveled from Mexico 
City for the purpose singly and alone of attending the reunion and 
who was leaving Princeton immediately after the Great Festival 
to return to his work in the southern Republic. 

The Class Dinner 

At evening on Sunday, the Class gathered on the lawn outside 
the tent and paid homage to the finest looking Class Boy that any 
Class ever boasted, Stewart Arthur Mackenzie, who was present 
with his mother and father and Mac's father, Mr. WilHam Russell 
Mackenzie, who had come all the way from Portland, Oregon, to 
see the Class Boy rule the University. A loving cup was presented 
to the Scion of the Class and done in his usual inimitable style by 
Samuel Jackson Reid, Jr. It was a very graceful little occasion and 
Stewart Arthur seemed to enjoy it probably as much as anyone. 
For the sake of his mother we will forbear to tell how naturally he 
seemed to handle a loving cup. 

The Class dinner was served in the tent shortly after and the 
early part of the evening following it was given over to a Glass 
meeting. Shave Vanderbilt was re-elected to represent the • Class 
on the Graduate Council for a period of five years more. Lou 
Froelick resumed the Secretaryship. It was proposed that the 
class be incorporated in order among other things to be able to 
receive gift money. After considerable discussion, the proposal 
was referred to a committee to be appointed by the President. 
Their action is described in another part of the book. 

Norris Bokum put his plan of Glass insurance for the Memorial 
Gift before the Class, with the statement that he had already received 
the assurance of a number of men in the Class that they would back 
the plan to the extent of taking out $i,ooo twenty year endowment 
policies, if the proper number to put the plan through were obtained. 
This matter was also referred to a committee to be appointed for 

319 



investigation and report to the Class. The report will be found in 
another part of this book. 

The rest of the evening was occupied with tales of personal exper- 
iences. Julian Beaty told something of inside politics in New York 
City. Bob Gait was almost persuaded to tell how he became a 
theolog. The stories turned into song and then one of the surprises 
of the reunion delighted the Class. When all the talent had been 
tried and retried and the entertainment list was growing small, 
someone got hold of Davy Davison and yelled for a song. It was 
hard work to get him up. As soon as he had started with one of 
Kipling's best in a stirring song, the entertainment for several hours 
longer was made. Class and visitors sat back and got ready for a 
new lease of reunion enjoyment until 3.33 a. m. Prepare ye, all 
who have talent unshown^ to loosen up your voices and abilities for 
the large Seventh and Tenth Reunions to come. 

Sunday Memorial Service 

The Class marched in a body to Murray-Dodge Hall on the 
afternoon of Sunday for a service in memorial of the men who 
have died. Under the leadership of Walter Davison, an earnest and 
memorable tribute was paid to the dead. The spirit of reverence 
and solemnity was upon all in the meeting, and men came away 
saying that it had been good to remember in a united Qass the 
dead who had been so strong and vital a part of our life while they 
were with us. Shave Vanderbilt named the men who have died. 
The realization of the loss of Tub Waller, Oren Dages, and Deacon 
Ouintard, who had so lately been with us, brought all strongly in 
lemembrance. The meeting closed in the quiet spirit of a united 
friendship that moves in the Class and the depth of the fellowship 
formed at Princeton.

His Imperial Highness, Emperor of the Celestial Class 
Starting the Royal Game 
Weary Pilgrims 



The Last Days 

A welcome innovation was the return of the band on Monday. 
Though the strength of the Class was depleted, joy and spirit were 
unbounded, as frequent Pee-rades immediately demonstrated. It 
was noised around late in the morning that the Decennial Class of 
1 90 1 was giving an athletic picnic and party on Osborne Field in 
the afternoon. Congratulations to 1901 on its enterprise were 
extended, but it didn't arouse much excitement in view of the joy 
surrounding the arrival of the band. So far as entering any of 
the events was concerned, no one remembered to do anything until 
15 minutes before the opening of the Gladiatorial Contest, when it 
was suddenly decided ofThand that a few of us might just as well 
troop down to the field and win the meet, in Good Fellowship's 
merry name. 

Our modesty forbids us to tell about our own ability, especially 
in view of the exceeding courtesy and grace of our hosts of 1901. 
But as we must for the sake of accurate record set down the truth, 
we will quote the following from that historian of all things true, 
the New York Sun: 

"Down to University Field, '01, '04, '06, rambled while the cannon 
exercises were going on and there in the hot sun they had their 
events. When you've been living your life inside a reunion tent for 
three days, it's no easy matter to gallop over a cinder track for 
fifty yards and when you have to do it backwards, — well, many there 
were who fell by the wayside. 

"From the start, 1906 with its youthful vigor, was easily ahead. 
Shave Vanderbilt won the 6 foot log throw without a struggle. His 
experience as a one time basketball star gave him the wrist motion 
to put plenty of English on the railroad tie and the roll counted. 

"The three jumps and a dive over the grass was a pipe for 
Alec Bannwart, who displayed all the abandon that the event 
demanded. Ralph Bard, football back and first baseman, and Harry 
Ambrose, leader of the Glee Club in 1906, made three legs out of 
their normal four and won the three-legged roll at a saunter. The 
real test was the tug-of-war, the last event, which cinched things 

321 



for 1906. At their end of the rope were Shave Vanderbilt, Norris 
Boktim, Harry Apibrose, Fred Nason, Al Maurice, Pat De Vinne, 
Tom Preston, Ralph Bard, Bub Stockton, Don McPherson and 
Alec Bannwart. The rope was hanging to-night outside the 1906 
tent. 

''After the meet, '06 went right out and beat '01 at baseball. 
With players like Jack Vauclain (what was the price for this, Jack?), 
Ralph Bard and Sammie Reid, the last two forming a self-reversible 
battery, it was too easy. 

''The Class of 1906 cares for itself to-night." 

The Class cared both for itself and others in the evening and 
though the merry-makers were fewer in number, the joy was just as 
high and an evening of song and story passed on into the early 
sunrise hours. Visitors were delightfully entertaining among whom, 
the celebrated Mr. Percy Pyne told some of his most delicately 
flavored English experiences with our own traveled comrade, Mr. 
Donald McPherson, and Big Brownlee of the '90's was present with 
a few tales of the hills and the West. 

Vip, Dag, and Hig, who were living in rooms at the famous 
Princeton hostelry, the Nassau Inn, whenever the tent was closed, 
were seen to rise at i p. m. the next day in grave doubt whether it! 
were night or morning of the Fifth or Tenth Reunion. 

That Tuesday morning the rear guard, namely, — Sam, Bayard, 
Vip, Dag, and Hig with others, smoked the pipe of peace and 
fellowship over the remains of the tent after it had come down and 
agreed that there had been five days of solid merriment under its 
rain-proof walls and roof. 

The Qass takes this opportunity of congratulating the reunion 
committee for its splendid achievement in bringing so enjoyable 
a reunion out of the fifth year's celebration. There are few things 
in which it could have been improved. It succeeded preeminently in 
solidifying the strong underlying feeling of Class loyalty that has 
always marked our crowd. It did away with that tendency to 
restraint and formalism that has been felt at our sessions at times, 
all unconsciously, and restored us all to a spirit of naturalness and 
abandon of enjoyment where fun and good fellowship have full 
play. . This was due especially to two things, — the splendid snap 
and freedom in fun injected into the tent sessions by the Peerless 
Leader, Vip. 

Z22 



It was due to the fine executive work and thorough planning of 
the reunion committee, and its vigorous chairman Sam Reid, to all 
of whom the Class extends its real and earnest thanks.

Midwinter Class Dinner, Princeton Club, February 3, 1912 

The spirit of genial good comradeship that characterized the fifth 
reunion of the Class last June and is steadily turning '06 into one 
big family, made the midwinter dinner at the Princeton Club of 
New York a plain, old, homely love feast where there was not 
a single atom of stiffness from heart to shirt in any one. There 
is a good natured fireplace in the Princeton Club grillroom. It was 
all that was needed. The family party naturally gravitated around it 
after eating and the joy that resulted was the composite essence of 
pure delight that only a clambake, an evening on the steps, or a 
football win over the Elis, could unite to produce. 

Hon. Vip Voorhees of the New Brunswick bar was Patriarch of 
the flock. As he lifted his voice in prophetic utterance or waved his 
hand in reverent blessing over the family, the sons of 1906 did arise 
one by one and each did render account of his stewardship. And all 
the pilgrim brethren rejoiced and were glad to barken unto each 
other's words. Verily all did rejoice that the vineyard had been 
fruitful. Then did the fathers of sons and daughters arise and they 
spake of bounteous blessings, and received homage. Though verily 
some of the wickedest of the bachelors were noticed to be speaking 
false things behind their hands, asking why fond fathers loved to 
gallop forth from squalling babes to lift their chests and stand 
proudly at class dinners and other unfatherly indignities. But thus 
do the heathen rage. For the missioners of marriage were strong 
at the feast. And the sons of the family most honored were the 
three brethren, Sandy Etherington, Bill Hay, and Joe Morrison, for 
were they not the most recently made fathers in the family circle? 
They were. 

There were those who were soon to listen to the sound of the 
wedding harp and the lute. Brother Shave Vanderbilt had only 
one week more to be a perfect reunioner, while Roger Hinds felt 
nearly as sorrow-in-joy-ful. But the brethren of the tribe of 1906 
honored them. Then did the Prophet Samuel arise to encourage the 
people to greater works of valor and to praise them for class 
spirit, for verily was there not a balance of $747 left over after 

325 



the fifth reunion? The Scribe of the people said that in very 
truth the sons of 1906 were worth much more than six shekels a 
week, and that the yearly income per man was a worthy sum. Dr. 
Phil Cole caused great grief in the hearts of the people, for he will 
leave the land of plenty to dwell among the Philistines of Helena, 
Montana, next month. The Sage, Albert Potter, back from Ger- 
many after many moons away gladdened the hearts of the brethren 
in his return. Doc Lloyd journeyed a Sabbath day's distance from 
Philadelphia, and thus gave abundant pleastire to the brethren. And 
all the time the good brother Pat De Vinne did dispense good cheer 
right merrily. 

Then was a message dispatched to President Hibben telling him 
that there had gone up from the People a great shout for him and 
that all the People were his servants and would do for him as he 
wished. And the Prophet Julian Beaty did write sweet words of 
adulation in resolutions for him. Then was the Loving Cup drunk 
round and the sons of the Class went home, wiser and stronger 
men. There were present these: Voorhees, Reid, Bird, Vanderbilt, 
Art Ambrose, Harry Ambrose, Veit, De Vinne, Morrison, Hopkins, 
Pierson, Hinds, Warren Cunningham, Bliss, Cole, Hegeman, Stagg, 
Barr, Gait, Froelick, Dorman, Holden, Potter, Beaty, Etherington, 
Cross, Fleming, Tarbell, E. L. Brown, Gilbert Brown, Norman Mc- 
Cutcheon, Hazard, Hay, Lloyd, Maurice, Burton, Reppert, Mc- 
Millan, Graham, Stanley, Anderson, Schwob, Eisele. 

The Hibben Dinner^ New York, February 23, 1912 

A number of men traveled good distances to be present at the 
Hibben dinner in New York. Brooks Fleming, who has rarely been 
seen since he left college, gladdened the hearts of the thirty-three 
men present by coming on from Fairmount, West Virginia. Deane 
Edwards had come down from Auburn Theological Seminary for 
the dinner and a few days' stay in New York. Jack Munn was on 
from Boston. Allen Craig traveled from Wilmington, Del., and 
Carl Stromberg from Saranac Lake. Oscar McPherson was on 
hand from Lawrenceville. Others at the dinner were Reppert, 
McDonald, Edmund Brown, Brasher, Eppley, Etherington, Gait, 
Bliss, Eisele, Froelick, Barr, W. W. Cunningham, Hay, Hegeman, 
Dorman, Tooker, Schwob, Hinds, Pierson, Chamberlain, Reid, Mc- 
Cutcheon, Beaty, Voorhees, Cross, June McClure, Jack McClure.

Larch MONT Chowder Party and Summer Congress of Sports, 
Larchmont, August ii, 1912 

The 1906 Chowder and Marching Club has come to stay. 

The gay Charter Members that titillated with merriment all that 
splendid August day at Larchmont and have tingled with enthusiasm 
for the Party ever since, are fast joined together to make it an 
annual event. It was one of the best days of the summer to the 
Charter Members. It is going to be repeated at least once each 
summer herewith and forever more. So all ye merry gentlemen, 
climb on the Band Wagon! 

To Sandy Etherington, who wielded the mighty Chowder Stick 
that stirred the Chowder that made the Party all it was, the Charter 
Members bow their warmest appreciation. They are henceforth 
ready to march behind him at the sign of the Chowder Stick any 
time he beckons. He it was whom the Grand Idea hit. He planned 
mightily and well. And therefore the gayness of the Charter Mem- 
bers was supreme as they came away that summer night. 

First catch the setting — broad Larchmont Clubhouse porch, danc- 
ing shimmering harbor, cooling beverages. In the background, — 
shady tennis courts, breezy golf hills ; out before you, delicious cool- 
ing swim, skimming yachts, rolling sound. Perfection ? Deliciously 
entrancing ! 

The setting — among other things — was drunk in for sometime, 
until Skipper Etherington rang the bell for the Congress of Sports 
to open up. At that the stalwart athletes rushed to their posts. A 
brigade dashed to the tennis courts, a company to the golf links — 
and after Charlie Baiter and Julian Beaty and the masterful Vip 
had sweat and bled for tennis honors as the semi-finalists, the Imper- 
turbable Hig of Newark, N. J., walked away with the first prize, — a 
medallion in bas-relief of a Roman athlete rampant, with racquet, 
done in pearls on a yellow enamel field. Everybody said the prize 
fit the playing so well. Harrison Ambrose captured the golf honors. 

But the day was primarily a water day — not entirely of course, 
but mostly. Sandy's trim sloop was dancing out there in the harbor 
with a host of others, ready to breast its way, with the Immortals 

328 



aboard, out upon the deep. Nobody suspected then what a near- 
tragedy was lurking in its deceiving dancing. 

Skipper Sandy with Mate Eth Butler had been making ready. 
Small boat after small boat had been putting out from shore armed 
with foodstuffs and various contraband of war, done in ice tubs 
and cool withal. The fleet was about ready to weigh anchor and! 
away up the Sound. Several of our divinest formed Apollos had 
already divested themselves of much of the impedimenta of civiliza- 
tion. Even the good mate Eth, as he was wont to disport in the 
water of the Northern Seas, among the icebergs and walruses of 
The Labrador, did here throw discretion and his B. V. D.'s to the 
winds and dive in and out among the Larchmont sporting porpoises 
and seadogs. It was a grand and noble sight to see our goodly youth 
stretching forth their mighty limbs in the cooling waters of Long 
Island's Sound. These were the preliminaries of the day's sports — 
the little side-plays and by-plays that set off the main feast to an 
unparalleled relish. 

The sweating tennis army and the golfers had joined the fleet, 
had laved their heated bodies in the briny and were basking in the 
blissful enjoyment of life, which was then gay and young. The 
sails were set, the crew was met, and the wind was 
blowing right merrily. The sloop was steered, the rudder was 
veered, the skipper was cheered, but the danged old boat was 
stuck in the mud and life for the crew was becoming less cheerful 
every minute. The supercargo, however, was boisterous with the 
fun of it. Skipper Sandy and the good Mate Eth cursed right 
roundly. Crew got out the oars, rowed and sweat, tugged and 
creaked on the windlass while the prow swished this way and that 
but never an inch in advance. Someone went down the anchor 
chain and reappeared to report that sure enough the substance at 
the bottom was mud. 

After which everybody whistled three times. Of course, the 
sloop then slid off by magic and tore its way out through harbor 
into the spankingest old breeze that a summer day on the Sound 
could produce. And the Charter Members clad in bathing trunks 
and sun beams lolled on deck and told some merry, merry tales, 
while the ships bowled over the seas. And perhaps they may tell 
them again, if we record that Hon. Vip Voorhees related succinctly 
the sad tale of "The Man and the Monkey." Mr. the Hon. JuHan 

329 



Beaty told the narrative entitled 'The Man and the Telephone Girl" 
and Mr. Harrison Ambrose delightfully recounted the origin of 
"Bull". Beside which Mr. H. Sayre Higbie and Sir Charles Baiter, 
Bart., K. C. M. G., slid into the conversation ever and anon with 
their well-known dry wit which ever and anon is produced under 
hydrostatic conditions. 

Ha, see the broad tubs floating about the harbor as we put in! 
Yea, a diving platform, too, great potato sacks and obstacles ! Wot 
ye not that the Congress of swimming sports is about to begin? 

The divine shape of that most recent Annette Kellerman, — no less 
a shape in fact than that of the Hon. Mr. Fat Durham — appears 
suddenly silhouetted against the setting sun. In fact it blots out 
the sun so that said sun has to set in discouragement. Hist ! The 
form divine poises itself. Its graceful arms twine above head, 
reach heavenward and arch like a gothic tower. Watch how those 
amorous lines of waist and hip curve and undulate, note those taper- 
ing limbs. The spring board dips. Ah, it rises and with it one 
fat form speeding heavenward. A splash, a geyser, and the last of 
Fat Durham appears to the waiting host in one squealing kick of a 
leg — one such as the leading ladies in Miner's Burlesquers are 
wont to let fly at their audiences while disappearing into the wings. 

Then followed one diving Charter Member after another. L. 
Froelick calmly displaced all the water in the Harbor as he hit it 
flat on. A booming noise rang out over Larchmont. It brought 
down the fire department to the water front. 

''Never mind, no danger," megaphoned the reassuring Sandy. 
"That was only Higbie hitting the water." 

The Charter Members fly in and out of Long Island Sound Hke 
so many frogs until the merman, Julian Bonar B. appears on diving 
stage. "He springs, he glides, he seems to feel the thrill of life 
along his keel" — for sure enough he opens up a line of natatorial 
talent that takes the breath right out of Larchmont's saltiest seadog. 
Diving? He must have been doing it all the winter before with the 
Winter Garden Mermaids. 

Tie his legs in a bag and he swims twice as fast with a craw-fish 
stroke of the arms. Set him in a tub and it refuses to sink. Tie 
him up to the leg of a fellow Charter Member, three-legged style, and 
the result looks like chained lightning shooting through the water. 
Suffice it to say that Julian B. was the one bright star of the Water 

330 



sports Congress. In fact he won so many diamond studded prizes 
that the usury law of the State of New York had to be extended to 
prevent the pawn shops from going out of business two days after. 
There was the grand final across-the-harbor long distance swim, in 
which Rep Reppert — modesty forbidding him to mention it himself — 
romped home a winner by three or less hours, with the assistance of 
a passing ferryboat. Meanwhile, Charlie Baiter was sneaking off in 
a hungry way toward the chowder pot. Skipper Sandy had the 
bos'n pipe ''AH hands fore and aft on deck to brace the mains'l" 
whereupon a mad rush set in toward a certain favorite haunt in the 
Larchmont Club House. 

The chowder had been stirred. The feast was piping savory. The 
Charter Members, a gay and exhilarated lot, sat down to — Oh, you 
steamed clams, heaps of them luscious, divine. How those educated 
Devereaux clams, crabs and lobsters talked in mellow savory luscious 
sea-notes wild! Were you ever hypnotized, magnetised as to your 
palate with ambrosial food attuned to perfect harmony of taste? 

Apollo and all the gods ne'er dined on food so luscious? 

We stop right here. 

Are you joining us next summer at the Grand Second Annual 
Congress ? 

We guess you are.

The total number of men living near Princeton who have attended

attendance of those from distant parts, it appears clear, has been 
excellent proportionately. Of course^ a great number of the distant 
men have attended only one reunion while the greater number of 
near-dwellers have attended more than one. 

The advertising men^ the doctors, the bank'ers, and the manufac- 
turers appear to be particularly good reunioners. 



332 



Suggestions Concerning Reunions 

Ideas expressed on the Reunions covered a wide range. The 
extremes were chiefly held by those who have attended only one or 
two reunions and these in most cases the early ones. Therefore, 
many of the men expressing them are in a measure out of touch 
with the real nature of reunions at the present. 

The weight of opinion was for the moderate in all features of 
reunions. The large emphasis was upon renewal of old friendship. 

The following were the two most specific and useful suggestions 
for bettering future reunions : 

Meals in tent, that the Class may be together. 

Sleeping accommodations in a place such as a Seminary 
dormitory, where a large part of the Class may gather. Deter- 
mination of the men to use such quarters provided. 

A number of men touched on the desirability of developing good 
fellowship among the members of the Class to an even greater 
degree than exists. Suggested means of accomplishing the best 
freedom in "mixing" were rather intangible. The most specific was : 

Men to come to the reunion with the definite plan of con- 
tributing personally to its enjoyment. Thus it is proposed 
that each man at sometime during the reunion be given 
several minutes to tell the Class about himself or some other 
man, so that the Class will hear as nearly as possible of 
every man and what he is doing. Also, it is suggested that 
each man come ready to contribute to the general enjoyment 
with some stunt, a song, a story or to reminisce briefly. 

Number of visitors to be kept moderate. 

In the line of entertainment, these were some of the leading ideas : 
An entertainment committee. 
A master-of-ceremonies. 

A class quartette or group to lead off with songs. 
Vaudeville talent to act as "starter" when things lag. 
A longer stay by the band. 



333 



Some miscellaneous suggestions : 

A standard^costume to be worn at successive reunions. Wear 
costume or some class insignia all through a reunion. 

Class dinner a very substantial meal of the plain "beefsteak 
dinner" variety, short and without courses or formalism. 
A complete forgetting of clubs or club groups. 
A mock medical clinic similar to the trial for the Long 
Distance Cup. 
Some novel ideas : 

Have wives, best girls, children, etc., on some one occasion 
in the tent. 

Come back to reunions not as a guide for visitors. 
Hit on some scheme for announcing each man so that one 
does not have to say "Hello, old fellow" without knowing a 
man's name. 
• A goodly number of men expressed themselves as highly satisfied 
with the Fifth Reunion. In favor of a large Seventh Reunion were 
104 men ; 32 for a small one.

LETTERS AND REPORTS FROM THE CLASS 
OFFICERS AND COMMITTEES 

LETTER FROM THE CLASS PRESIDENT 

Review of the Progress of the Class 

Fellow Classmates: 

Six short years since graduation spell progress for the Class of 
Nineteen Hundred and Six. The march of progress of our class 
means advancement for Princeton, for Princeton is measured rather 
by our achievements after graduation, than by the minor triumphs of 
undergraduate days. The scholar, the debater, the editor, the athlete 
remain but a recollection to us. Some used to say that Nineteen 
Hundred and Six was not a strong class. Viewed from the stand- 
point of the undergraduate, this may have seemed true. But re- 
flection on some of our achievements show a thoughtful and careful 
interest in the welfare of the University. The class as undergrad- 
uates was solely responsible for at least two of Princeton's strongest 
institutions to-day, the Senior Council and the University Cornmons. 
These two institutions in themselves belie the statements that the 
class was not strong. These institutions were established by the 
individual and collective work of the whole class. This cooperation 
was the only means of getting the actual results. This was the begin- 
ning of a steady progressive interest and the same spirit now leads us 
on to greater things. To-day our standing and progress can be judged 
in various ways. The individual results can best be judged by an 
examination of the class statistics, printed within this book. They 
most positively show that the class has gone ahead. They also show 
a decided advantage over other classes of the same age. The class as 
a whole has found itself, and is evincing a very strong spirit in every 
class activity. The Class Records, the Memorial Fund and reunions 
are indicative of this progress and strength. The Memorial Com- 
mittee has generally found the class responsive. The fifth reunion 
was a great success, because the whole class entered into it with a 
spirit of loyalty and enthusiasm. Genuine companionship and 

335 



friendship were there; it was a time for the renewal of old ties and 
it was an opportunity to be with friends, whom we had not seen in 
years. It as a real intimate reunion of souls and hearts, whose 
passions are in Princeton, The men in the class are showing a more 
wholesome interest in all the class functions and activities. Social 
distinctions have lost their seeming importance and no discord 
threatens the class unity. There are no petty things to distract us. 
The class dinners ring true with good spirit, enthusiasm and con- 
geniality. It is this generous, thoughtful and responsive interest that 
is making all our activities a success. We should try to keep up this 
spirit and work together, that we may make this class a marked 
class of Princeton University. 

The class has been weakened by the loss of some of our strongest 
members, whose lives were promising a bright and successful future. 
We regret most deeply this loss, and we hope their courage and 
their success may inspire us with hope and confidence to press onward 
towards our goals. 

With best wishes to all, I am 

Faithfully yours, 

Samuel J. Reid, Jr.

LETTER FROM O. DeG. VANDERBILT, JR. 
Shave's Valedictory as Secretary 

Nearmah, Locust Valley, Long Island, 
Sept. 24, 1912. 
Dear Lou : 

The old saying, "If you want a thing done get a busy man to do it" 
was never more true than in my case this year. When I was doing 
all the work of getting out the first Class Book I was fairly bulging 
with ideas to tell the Class about. When Sine Hamilton struggled 
with the Triennial I managed to express a few thoughts. But now 
that you are at the helm again, and doing all the work, I haven't an 
idea. 

Lou I'm afraid I was getting stale when you had the good sense 
to come back again and leave the heathen Chinese alone for a 
while. Not that I was tired of the secretary's job, but somehow I 
seem to have exhausted all my original gray matter. There wasn't 
a new idea left, and since you have taken hold, I feel, and I 
know everyone else does too, a new breath of life. The snappy 
notices of the class; the interesting and numerous news items in 
the Alumni Weekly, and — well its too early to anticipate this 
record, but I bet now it'll be brimful of interest and the best the 
class has ever had. 

If it hadn't been for the greatest event in my life which took 
place about the time you took over the reins, I know that I would 
be the loneliest man on earth without my job. The class had 
become a part of me, and when you took it away it was like losing 
something very close and very dear. Hardly a day would go by 
but what someone in the class would drop me a line. 

Perhaps it was a new business with increased responsibility and 
incidently a fatter pay envelope. Perhaps someone was taking a 
trip and wanted to know what classmates were where he was going. 
Perhaps a new baby and the proud father must needs have it pub- 
Hshed in the Weekly just to show what he could do. And then the 
news which I admit I used to hear about with a twinge of jealousy — 
the news of Bill, or Jack, or Ed having captured for a life sentence 

ZZ7 



May, or Nancy or Gertrude. But finally even the boldest of us will 
sometimes overstep the mark — and Lou you just came home in time 
— for I know that my wife would never have stood for the large 
share of my affections which the class has always held. It's still 
just as large — but it doesn't take as much time — and isn't therefore 
so obtrusive. 

But at this writing I'm right in the thick of it again, for somebody 
wished on me this job of organiziation of the Woodrow Wilson 
College Men's League. By the time the Record is in the hands of 
the class you can either say "I told you so" or "Bully for Woodrow". 
Anyway I learned in our undergraduate days to admire him for the 
man in him and what he stood for, and the impression has been 
so lasting that I find myself giving all my time to the Campaign, and 
talking like a politician of 20 years standing, as if the destiny of the 
country were on my shoulders. And now that you have relieved me 
of my job I am going to spend this winter in Cincinnati. Not that 
I love Cincinnati more or New York less, but the inevitable monthly 
envelope, I hope will be fatter, and the high cost of high living less. 

Keep up the good work Lou, as you have started. If the Class 
doesn't appreciate it there is one who does. I am not altogether 
sorry for you, however — perhaps I am a little jealous — ^but it's all 
for the sake of keeping together and in touch with one another, 
the best friends you'll ever have. And I hope that every man in 
the class will at least appreciate that fact. 

Your sincere friend. 

Shave.

LETTER FROM THE CLASS SECRETARY 

To THE Class: 

There is an Oriental story of two smithies, the copper smith and 
the iron smith. They lived either side of a lofty browed literary 
man who sought quiet meditation. He got none. Either side of 
him, there went on a clanging and a roaring all day, all night. His 
distraction led him to generosity. He would give them both a 
banquet, a rare feast, if they would but move. They agreed. They 
came to the feast, partook bountifully and departed. ^'Heaven be 
praised" rejoiced the man of philosophy, "I am now rid of this 
pestilence at my doors." 

Alas! It was not so. That very night, at the midnight hour, 
when Oriental smithies are at the fullest blast of their din, the roar 
each side burst forth. The host of the banquet rushed before his 
clanging neighbors. 

''You have broken your word," he admonished. "I sought peace 
but you give me none." 

"Calm yourself, reverend sage," said they. "We have moved." 

They had even done so — the copper smith to the iron smith's, the 
iron smith to the copper smith's. 

Shave Vanderbilt and your servant are playing the merry little 
smithies. We have moved slightly, but our mutual clanging goes on 
forever and the Class has no peace. 

Of how effectually he has clanged during his near-four years in 
the iron shop, the splendid unity of the Class is the richest compli- 
ment and fullest testimony. He has now taken the copper shop 
stand, but we continue together to bang in unison and concert, right 
merrily. 

In the warm thanks of the Qass to Shave for his work, I join 
most deeply. 

It is a delight to me to be with the Class once more. 

Louis D. Froelick. 

October, 19 12.

CLASS MEMORIAL FUND 

Report of S. Hinman Bird, Chairman of the Memorial Fund 

Committee 

The editors take pleasure in submitting the following splendid 
report of Hinman Bird on the Memorial Fund. It is a tribute not 
so much to the giving power of the Class as to the dogged, persistent 
work of the Chairman. We can say this as outsiders of the Com- 
mittee. The Class has responded satisfactorily and as compared 
with other Classes our Memorial Fund is in a strong and prosperous 
condition. But the Class can do considerably more. Members are 
now well in the period of beginning prosperity financially, as our 
records on income show. This is the time when men should consider 
and decide to increase very substantially their subscriptions which 
were made six years ago in college, when they were earning nothing. 

The Editors. 

Report of Hinman Bird 

It seems fitting in this Fifth Year Record for the Chairman of 
the Memorial Fund to explain the purpose of the Fund, to show 
its progress and to give a statement to the Class of the results 
gained in six years of collecting. 

The object of the Fund is to raise money to give a Class Memorial 
to the University — probably an entry to cost about $18,000.00. In 
the spring of Senior Year the members of this Committee ap- 
proached every member of the Class and secured signed pledge 
cards from 249 men agreeing to give a certain sum annually for 
the first ten years after graduation. The total each year of these 
pledges amounts to about $2,040.00, making an average yearly dona- 
tion of $8 per man. In ten years this would give us $20,000.00, a 
sufficient amount for the 1906 Entry. 

Every year about February ist, this Committee sends out notices 
calling for the annual subscription then due. x^bout a month later 
the Chairman writes personal letters to the men failing to respond 
to the first call, and again a month later he repeats his letter in an 
eflfort to collect the full amount each year. The money collected is

This compares favorably with other contemporaneous classes, 
1905 having raised $6,150 in seven years and 1907 $5,000 in five 
years. In the first five years, the 1906 fund totaled $8,200. 

Of the 249 subscribers there are 36 men who have not paid at all, 
and there are 68 men who have not paid all their six payments due 
annually from 1907 to 1912. To complete our ten annual payments, 
there are still four years to come and the Chairman wishes to appeal 
for all to pay up promptly and especially to send in any back accounts 
due. 

As we have been out of College six years now, the Chairman 
believes every subscriber to this Fund ought to be able to pay five 
or ten dollars a year with ease, and each ought to pay up gradually 
any back payments. The object of the Fund is to do something 
worth while for Princeton and every man should make a sacrifice 
in order to respond. The Chairman gives this work much of his 
time and he feels it is decidedly up to the Class to help him out. 
The Class responds well, but 15 per cent of the men do not pay and 
this is an urgent appeal to these men to stand by the Class in its 
work for Princeton. 

The Chairman wishes to thank the Class for the support given him 
and wishes to say he enjoys doing this work for the Class. He 
hopes they realize that asking for money is not a pleasant job, and 



341 



that his repeated demands on those who do not or have not paid are 
a part of his duty as Chairman. 

In closing his statement the Chairman hopes that everyone in the 
Class of 1906 will cooperate with him to make our Class Fund as 
big as possible.

Chairman.

CLASS MEMORIAL INSURANCE PROPOSAL 

Digest Prepared by Julian Beaty of the Reports on the 
Scheme and Its Present Status 

We are indebted to Julian Beaty for the following description of 
the investigation and discussion of the scheme proposed by Norris 
Bokum at the Fifth Reunion for inaugurating group insurance as 
the basis of the Memorial Fund. The general committee appointed 
by President Reid to consider this plan and report and also to 
consider the proposal for incorporating the Class consists of the 
following: Harry Ambrose, Barr, Beaty, Bird, Bokum, Eppley, 
Etherington, Froelick, Sinclair Hamilton, Hinds, Reid, Vanderbilt. 
Bayard Stockton was also a member. 

As a member of the sub-committee appointed to consider the 
insurance plan, Julian Beaty kindly contributes the following sum- 
mary. 

We regret that we have not a statement from Norris Bokum, 
presenting the plan, which we were desirous of printing. 

The review of the matter follows : 

Class Insurance for Memorial Fund 

At our fifth reunion Norris Bokum presented a new scheme for 
increasing our memorial fund, the novelty of which appealed at once 
to all who heard it. The proposition was that each member of the 
class should take out a life insurance policy, payable in 20 years, the 
beneficiary thereunder to be certain trustees designated by the class 
to receive the proceeds and invest them until our 25th reunion, at 
which time the total sum should be given to Princeton for the 
erection of a class memorial hall or dormitory. The policies were 
to be in amounts of $500 or $1,000, and certain members of the 
class had agreed to underwrite the policies of any members who 
found themselves unable to pay their own premiums. The argument 
in favor of this method of creating a memorial fund was that a 
larger sum would be collected, because — (i) the collections would 
be made systematically by the insurance company and not left, as 
now, to the somewhat irregular donations made to Hinman Bird, as 

343 



Chairman of the Memorial committee; (2) should any metnber die 
within the next twenty years the full amount of his policy would go 
into the fund, while under the present system, his contributions 
would instantly cease; and (3) the novelty of the scheme would 
induce many to take out a policy who are not now contributing to 
the fund. 

After some discussion as to the advisability of the new scheme, 
the President of the Class referred the new scheme to a sub- 
committee of a large committee for further investigation and report. 
This committee consisted of Marion Eppley, Sandy Etherington, 
Hinman Bird and Julian Beaty. On September 29th, 191 1, at a 
meeting of the large general committee at the Princeton Club, this 
sub-committee presented an elaborate report, in which they discussed 
the insurance proposition from two points of view: (i) as a purely 
financial venture, and (2) its effect sentimentally upon the members 
of the class. Their report is too long for reproduction here, but 
their conclusions were (i) "from a purely mathematical standpoint, 
if the members of our class will contribute to our present Memorial 
Fund a sum annually equal to the annual premium they would have 
to pay upon a policy, the class would gain $2,025.12 per annum, or 
$40,502.36 in twenty years, by continuing the present system, and 
would suffer a loss of the same amount by adopting the insurance 
scheme. Furthermore, we think it would be unwise for the class 
to risk the possibility of the serious loss that would be ours if by 
some mischance the guarantors should be unable, or fail, to make 
good their guarantees, and any considerable number of policies 
should lapse"; and (2) "we are further of the opinion that such a 
scheme would seriously weaken the sentiment which now surrounds 
our Memorial Fund. It would divide the class into two parts, the 
plutocracy of the insured and the democracy of the uninsured. It 
would be exceedingly embarrassing not to take part in any of the 
class measures, and it would be an additional embarrassment for any- 
one who found himself unable to carry his policy to know that one 
of his classmates had been called upon to pay the premiums for 
him. If we substitute for this (the present) friendly appeal (from 
a classmate) the cold, notice of an insurance company, we instantly 
sever the tenderest tie that binds us to our Alma Mater.'' The 
Committee concluded that it felt "obliged to report, therefore, 
against official recognition of the plan. If, however, it should appeal 

344 



to certain members of the class to such a degree that they desire 
to contribute in that way to the Memorial Fund, we see no objection 
to their doing so, provided it be understood that they are acting 
upon their individual initatve and not as the result of any class 
resolution." 

Upon the presentation of the report, the accuracy of the mathe- 
matical calculations was challenged by Norris, and the report was 
referred back by the President to the same Committee for further 
examination. They held several meetings, at which they discussed 
various proposals from two of the largest insurance companies in New 
York, and also had conferences with several insurance agents, at 
some of which conferences Norris was present. The result of their 
further investigations is contained in a report dated June 4th, 1912, 
and presented at our last reunion, although it was not formally given 
out to the class. In this report, the committee says 'The statistical 
data has been revised, and the figures, as corrected, still bear out 
the conclusions based upon them in our original report.^' They 
report, finally, however, as follows : 

"First: We are advised by the Insurance companies that poli- 
cies may be written in amounts as small as $100, instead of at 
a minimum of $500, as stated in our former report. To this 
extent we believe that the scheme would meet with more 
general approval, as a larger number of men would be able 
to participate. 

"Second : We are none the less of the opinion that, for the 
reasons stated in our former report, it would not be advan- 
tageous for the class to abandon its present system of con- 
tributions to our memorial fund, to enter upon what is and 
must necessarily be a problematical financial venture. 

"Third: Your committee recommends, however, that Mr. 
Bokum be authorized to present the proposition to the indi- 
vidual members of the class, if he sees fit, leaving it to the 
judgment of each man whether he prefers to contribute in 
that way or in accordance with the present system. We 
understand that the insurance companies will not undertake 
the proposition unless at least $100,000 of insurance is guar- 
anteed. The subscriptions taken should therefore be contin- 
gent upon securing total subscriptions in the aggregate of 
that amount." 

Neither the first nor the second report has ever been discussed at 
any full class meeting ; nor, in fact, has any action been taken by 

345 



the General Committee to which the matter was referred two years 
ago "with power to act", but the prevalent opinion expressed at the 
meeting at the Princeton club was in favor of adopting the report of 
the sub-committee. The entire matter may very properly therefore 
be brought before the class at our 7th reunion and full opportunity 
given to everyone to express his opinion. The Memorial Fund is 
one of our biggest problems and is entitled to our best judgment. 



346 



REPORT OF SUB-COMMITTEE ON THE QUESTION OF 
INCORPORATION OF CLASS OF 1906 

The Sub-Committee appointed to consider the question of the 
advisabiHty of incorporating the class of 1906 of Princeton Univer- 
sity, for the purpose of receiving funds or handHng such business 
as may come before it, begs leave to report as follows : — 

It would be necessary to keep a set of books, have regular meetings 
and make regular reports if required, of all business transacted by 
the corporation. 

The laws of the various States under which the class could be 
incorporated require that a Board of Trustees be elected to be 
responsible for the conduct of the corporation and the handling of 
the funds. 

We believe that the inconvenience of maintaining a regular set of 
books and a regular corporate organization would be very great, and 
should be avoided, if possible. 

We recommend that a committee of five, consisting of the 
Memorial Fund Committee, be duly appointed or elected by the 
class, to act as trustees for any funds which the class may receive by 
gift or through the death of a member, or from any other source, 
and that a letter be prepared and mailed to every member of the 
class, with a list of this committee, in order that they may recognize 
the committee appointed as the proper persons to whom any funds 
should be left, by will or gift. 

We recommend that a proper form of bequest be legally drawn 
and printed as a part of the letter sent to the class. 

Respectfully submitted, 
Robert I. Barr, 
Roger Hinds, 
Bayard Stockton, Jr., 
Committee.

Sentiment on Finishing this Book 

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves 

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe ; 
All mimsy were the borogoves, 

And the mome raths outgrabe. 

— Through the Looking-Glass.
